Sledge Hammer/Awesome

The series

 * Sledge Hammer had its Crowning Moment Of Awesome in the first episode; in fact, within the first five minutes. Sledge, upon arriving at a scene where there's a sniper on a roof, asks if the building's been evacuated and then gets a rocket launcher and blows up the entire building. Refuge in Audacity indeed. Five minutes after that, there's another Crowning Moment of Awesome where Sledge makes a criminal beat himself up.
 * Sledge taking the interrogation subject to "the Carnival". Sledge takes the guy (who is in his underwear, having been plucked from a sleazy motel) and stands him up against a giant bulls-eye, with a balloon at his hands feet, and head. Sledge then proceeds to ask questions, shooting a balloon every time the subject denies knowledge. Sledge takes tougher and tougher shots, including shooting behind his back, aiming with a mirror.
