I personally remember watching it a lot when I was kid.... I think it was shown on Icelandic TV around '89 or something (we were a bit behind with US TV shows back then).... Then 2 years ago the first season was released on DVD and when I found out I immediately bought a copy.... I think the show has aged rather well when it comes to the humour, although certain jokes are of its time ("He makes Rambo look like Pee Wee Herman" ).... Also the lack of the laugh track actually improves the show..... Last week I bought the second (and unfortunately final) season on DVD and I've been enjoying it just like the first season.... My friends are now hooked on the show, even though many of them don't remember very well when it was shown originally on TV.....
Anywho, is anyone else here who remembers this show?


"Every move you make, every breath you take, I'll be watching you. That's police talk."

that's so 80s! i remember when it was on TV originally, but i never watched it. we were never a big cop show household, even if it was a funny cop show. our limit was barney miller or maybe cagney & lacey.

Here's a clip from the show, where Hammer is obtaining information from a criminal suspect, in his own way : http://www.youtube.com/wa...BtrrCPrla0

remember it

didnt watch it though ...

I don't.....but I love the song.


I want to be your sledgehammer
Why dont you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be



That show looks straight from the 80's

OMG I LOVE THAT SHOW!!

It was shown here in Finland at about 12pm and at the time when me and my boyfriend were just starting to date. We would watch it on our own at home and send loads of txt messages whenever Hammer said something hilarious etc. It was the time when we realised how similar sense of humor we had, which was very romantic..

I rolled on the floor, that show was so goood!! Hammer was always so optimistic and so rude.. I wish I could get the DVD..

Do you mean Mike Hammer?

Omg I do!!!

Oh hell, I remember watching that! My teacher in high school and I were the only loonies I knew who watched the programme

It only used to be shown late on at night, about 1a.m.(ish). If I didn't stay up to watch it I always taped it



I haven't heard it mentioned for years Cheers purplehippie.
