I remember in the last episode, Sledge asked her to marry him. When she realized that he was joking, she got all depressed. It's been a while since I've watched this show. Did anyone else pick up any signs of attraction?

The city may have blown up but does that count? If you think like that then Dori and Sledge would have know each other for four years when the series began and that certainly wasn't the case. Beside if Trunk survived somehow (him yelling HAMMER!!!) then maybe they are alive somewhere. But there was an attraction - the final episode and then the kiss they shared. But it would never have worked as Hammer loved his gun more than anything or anybody.
shareBut they made a season 2, which, if I remember corrctly, had the best episode which was a rip off of Robocop, Hammeroid. So they didn't die in season 1.
yes they did. season two begins five years after the nuclear explosion in season 1's finale
shareaaaactually Season two begins five years BEFORE the nuclear explosion in Season 1's finale... and its alllllll on the new DVD that's coming out on April 12th!!! WooHoo!!!!
Check it out!

Yes, naturally I meant to say five years before. My mistake.
shareSo the timeline is:
Season 1 ... Season 2 ... Five Years Later ... Season 1 Finale.
Season 2 takes place five years before the nuclear exposion Finale of Season 1.
So the timeline would be:
Season 2, Season 3, Season 4, Season 5, Season 6, Season 1.
If hypothetically the show could have lasted the 6 seasons. :(
I got my Sledge Hammer Season 2 at Suncoast recently. I wish they could have mass distributed it to places like Costco where they'd sell a lot more of this wonderful television series. The most amazing thing was I sent out a letter to Alan Spencer regarding the fact that Season 1's Sledge Hammer was void of Closed Captioning. Almost every DVD that's out there comes with that feature almost standard. I enjoy using Closed Captioning sometimes if I couldn't make out what the person was saying or if I didn't know how to spell it out I could look at the closed captioning and look up the definition. Anyhow, I sent out a letter to Alan Spencer and got a response from somehow who forwarded my huge letter about closed captioning being necessary in Season 2. I commented that I would even buy another Sledge Hammer Season 1 if they revised it with Closed Captioning. Season 2 of Sledge Hammer now comes with Closed Captioning but it's the TV-based version. I wish they also included the DVD based closed caption version also so when you pause the video the closed caption is also frozen whereas the TV-based CC vanishes after a few seconds and also requires a TV with a built-in closed caption decoder where the DVD version does not. Well, at least CC got put in there regardless. Thanks a lot Alan Spencer for listening to a fan!!!
P.S.
I wish there were more seasons. I'm already half way through my Season 2!
I'm also watching Doogie Howser Season 1 another one of my old favorites from the past as a kid.
Anyone ever heard of the show "Space: Above and Beyond?", "Time TraX", "War of the Worlds", "Side Kicks". Those are some of favorites shows that haven't come onto DVD yet. I wish Anchor Bay or some other company would do them justice and put them out.
P.P.S.
With both TV Closed Captioning and DVD Closed Captioning features. :)
I don't mind spending an extra 5 dollars or whatever for them to include
this valuable feature. Heck 40 dollars vs 45. I hate it when companies get real cheap and just leave off CC altogether. Anyone buy the "Seinfeld" DVDs? It's got a ton of languages subtitled and has audio tracks for a couple of foreign languages. Now that's nice. I was thinking about listening to them in another lanuage and learn how to speak a different language through it. :)
I wish more companies would include that as well. I'd like to hear Sledge saying his lines like scumbucket in French, Spanish, German, whatever...
Perhaps when the blue laser DVD versions hit the market years from now they will include all these nice features.
P.P.P.S
BTW, this is my first posting on imdb and the first tv show I commented on. I miss Sledge. We need a Sledge Hammer movie for a Summer blockbuster release!
Since the show began in 1986, Maybe a Summer 2006 release :) 20 year reunion.
or a 2008 release 20 years after the finale?
Warning: This reply contains spoilers concerning the episode: "And here's to you, Mrs. Hammer." and "Under The Gun."
Actually, he seems quite serious to me while popping the question. I think he claims it was a joke, because he's got a fear of rejection. It is, after all, an episode that has a lot of character development crammed into it. He is forced to come to terms with his ex-wife marrying his best friend. An ex-wife that's nowhere near the monstrous dragon lady, we had come to believe. He goes through quite a crisis and in the process we get a rare glimpse behind his macho facade. It's particularly heart-wrenching to see him throw his trusty amigo across the floor. But the look on Dori's face when she's told that he's not wearing his gun to church is priceless. It's a big gesture from a man, who in the original pilot says: "Don't thank God, thank gun." That's why I really do believe that Sledge was absolutely serious when he asked Dori to marry him. And although I do understand why Dori might have been skeptical about the proposal, It broke my heart when he copped out at the last minute.
I, too, think he was serious, but when he got such a negative response from Doreau ("Are you serious?!") and knew she wouldn't say yes, he pretended that it was a joke.
shareI would think so, yes.
"You're not right in the head/
and nor am I/ and this is why/
This is why I like you"
Remember the Hammeroid episode when she thought Hammer had died?
I think there is a HUGE clue right there.
Imagine there's no heaven.
It's easy if you try.
God is an imaginary friend for adults.
How come they never followed up on that kiss they gave each other at the end of that episode?
shareI always wondered about that!
It was a GREAT moment, the kiss, then it was forgotten!
I hated that. :(
It's been quite a while since I seen it, but I was hoping maybe that might have gotten hitched. I was disappointed they didn't follow up on the conclusion itself.
shareI think they would have followed up on it...if the show had not been cancelled.

Isn't it fairly common for cops to marry other cops?
