From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I laughed my ass off watching this show.!!! David
Rasche had a ball spoofing Dirty Harry. This show
sort of reminded me of Police Squad. They cancelled
it because it was ahead of its time and people were
too slow to catch all of the gags in it. Anne Marie
Martin was wonderful as Sledge's partner and the
chemistry between the two was irresistable. I have
so many fond memories of this show and I only wish
they would put it back in syndication. - dtucker86
