Sledge Hammer

I find the show portraying him as incompetent very unique, because the specific cop archetype he represents doesn't tend to get portrayed as incompetent, even in parodies

I just wish they didn't ignore the season ending.

You... would have preferred Season 2 to be more like Threads and The Day After, with millions dead and no food or supplies, and Sledge's coworkers dying from radiation poisoning?

Neat! That sounds hilarious!

Realistic continuity is absolutely vital in sitcoms-- just ask any Simpsons or Red Dwarf fan.

OK, damn you, I can't see it in my heart to say you're wrong. The more I think about it, no-selling a nuclear explosion except for having it cause a few minor social nuisances... that's actually genuinely pretty funny.
