Movie Reviews of Sledge Hammer! - Season TwoMovie Review: Sledge Hammer! (The Early Years) Summary: 5 Stars
Ignoring continuity but not the fans, series creator Alan Spencer dubbed the second season of Sledge Hammer! a "prequel", choosing not to "cop out" in resolving the previous season cliffhanger (where Hammer set off a nuclear bomb) by saying it had all been a dream. To that end, the following disclaimer precedes the season premiere episode...
"The following season of Sledge Hammer! takes place five years before that nuclear explosion. Thank you."
Despite the continuity issues this presents, you will be glad that Doreau still appears this season as Hammer's partner. The season also greatly benefits from the addition of Bill Bixby (The Incredible Hulk) as one of the show's resident directors (starting with "Play it Again, Sledge"). Sledge Hammer! fans will benefit in knowing that these final 19 complete episodes are fully remastered and that the set is armed to the teeth with great extras - all personally supervised by Alan Spencer.
No doubt the great packaging for these Sledge Hammer! season sets has a lot to do with Alan Spencer's level of involvement and relationship with the fans and Anchor Bay Entertainment. Typically, when the original creators get so actively involved in the DVD releases of their shows, the better the finished release e.g. Peter Chung with Aeon Flux and Paul Simms with NewsRadio DVD sets.
