Thanks
to your loyalty, passion and insanity… we are right
now preparing 
for release on DVD in the US of A.
I’m proud to be associated with Anchor Bay Entertainment
in this endeavor, the wonderful folks who put out wholesome
family entertainments like “Thomas The Tank
Engine” & “Dawn of the Dead.”
The
street date for Sledge and his trusty sidearm to arrive
on DVD is July 27th in the year of Our Lord 2004. The
boxed set will be the closest thing to ever finding
a weapon of mass destruction.
Time
is running out with a lot, and I mean A LOT to
do.
Thankfully,
I’ve made some new friends who are toiling around
the clock on this massive undertaking.
Here’s
a shot of a talented guy named Michael De Fusco, the
“Director of Video Restorations,” using digital
magic to make 
look as fresh as early morning gunpowder.

Next are a couple of my new amigos, Perry Martin &
R.J. Gallentine, prepping for an on camera interview with
yours truly to be included on the disc… and you’ll
notice there’s a gun mysteriously floating
in the air!
Besides making new compadres, I’ve renewed old acquaintances
with some people I haven’t seen since we wrapped
the show over a decade ago.
How
time flies when you’re having gun. Here I am being
reunited with none other than Dori Doreau herself…
the ever-lovely Anne-Marie Martin.
All three
cast members have completed interviews for an exclusive
documentary to be included on the DVD.
Besides
Ms. Martin, the ever explosive Captain Trunk, Harrison
Page, sat down and yelled… I mean, spoke…
about his involvement with the show.
And
yes, Inspector Sledge Hammer himself, David Rasche
took a break from the David Mamet play he’s currently
starring in to fly in and give a lengthy, as well as
memorable, interview. (Those who witnessed it were reportedly
thrilled when David slipped into character a few times.
All right, enough anticipation.)
I
promise to keep you updated as much as I possibly can.
Also, keep signing the petition as a show of support
for this effort. It’s made a big a difference and
continues to. I’ll fill you in on the details as
to how later:
I’ve got to hurry up and beat a case of laryngitis
so I can record my commentary on some key episodes.
After
that, thanks to my fine comrades in the U.K. and Scotland
providing ample materials, I’ll be riding shotgun
alongside a diligent sound engineer as we attempt to
accomplish the most important task at hand.
It’s
a dangerous mission, so pray we succeed as we…
ATTEMPT
TO REMOVE THE LAUGH TRACK!!!
Your
amigo,
Alan Spencer
