San Francisco or Los Angeles

The pilot episode clearly takes place in San Francisco. Is there any evidence that subsequent episodes take place in Los Angeles? Or should the city be unnamed? Geoff/Gsl 22:17, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It says on the DVD box that Sledge works for the SFPD. However having been to both LA and SF on vacation the series looks like LA as it has none of the hills you would associate with San Fran. Holden 27

In one of the episodes when Sledge exits his apartment, the text "San Francisco (something)" is written on the parking area. Lapinmies 08:27, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the setting is supposed to be SF, though the show was filmed (at least partially) in LA. dbtfz ^talk 04:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In a Season 2 episode, Sledge says something to the effect of "I'm here to protect...this city". The long pause indicates that not even Sledge knows!-65.122.209.135 11:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The photo ID badges worn in the series carry the caption "City and County of San Francisco" 199.166.186.1 (talk) 19:38, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the Magnum

What was the name of his gun? LeyteWolfer 20:20, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is just called gun(Source:The episode commentary of "The Spa Who Loved Me") — Preceding unsigned comment added by SomeDudeWithAUserName (talk • contribs) 18:05, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The gun doesn't have a name, Sledge only sometimes refers to it as his "amigo". Interestingly, in the dubbed German version, the gun does have a name: Susie. --MartinSL 14:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hunh.....could swore he had a name for it. Thanks for replying. LeyteWolfer 01:33, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There was something like a "10 most asked questions" clip on the Sledge Hammer DVD Set, and the question about the gun's name was also included. Alan Spencer said there is no such name, at least not in the original English language version. --MartinSL 06:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the German dub, the gun is called "Susi" (Suzy). But as others had said, in the original it is nameless.193.16.3.37 (talk) 12:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it was prounounces as Zusie (written in German as Süsse) - than it's just a German variant or "sweetheart", so it's not a name. 109.90.241.56 (talk) 22:12, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Blog Post?

Hi, noob here. Noticed this line:

"A theoretical physicist named Mano Singham has equated Sledge Hammer's behavior to the current political climate in his blog. The title of the entry is 'Sledge Hammer Bush'"

Is this promotion of a blog really necessary?

Good day. 58.71.51.11 20:41, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Republicans?

Should we mention that this awesome show makes fun of Republicans in this article? I am just asking a question SomeDudeWithAUserName (talk) 18:01, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nice syntax!

He is also a distant relative to Genghis Khan, whom he had an aunt named "Joan Khan". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.101.145.49 (talk) 01:54, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Internation Versions

In the German version Sledge Hammer gives his gun the name "Susi". This is done by German dubbing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.192.58.28 (talk) 21:09, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

re: Sledge Hammer! Trust Me - I Know What I Am Doing! character tagline

Greetings Pratyya - you edit suggests to me that you are not familiar with the Sledge Hammer! television show that aired on the ABC (United States) television network during 1986 through 1988 Trust Me - I Know What I Am Doing! is the tagline of the main character (Sledge Hammer) that he oft repeated through every episode of the television show.^[1]^[2] Bee Cliff River Slob (talk) 14:29, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"(Sledge) Hammer Is A Blunderbuss"?

What is meant by the statement about Hammer being a blunderbuss? It's a kind of rifle. Mr Fink (talk) 23:23, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
