That's a clip from the first season finale of "Sledge Hammer!", a 1980s police drama parody starring David Rasche as Detective Sledge Hammer. In the episode, a gang of female bodybuilders steals a nuclear bomb. Here's the best synopsis I was able to locate:
Sledge Hammer had the best finale ever. Hammer had to stop a terrorist squad of female bodybuilders let by a crazy aerobics instructor, who had stolen a nuclear bomb and threatened to blow up the whole city. Hammer finds the bomb with only seconds left, and uttering his catch phrase, "Trust me, Doreau. I know what I'm doing," he moves in to disarm the bomb.
Cut to commercial.
After the commercial break, nothing is left of the city except a vast desert with some debris that used to be buildings. In the background, you can hear Hammer's boss yelling, as he does at the end of every episode, "Haaaaaaammmmer!!"
Then to everyone's shock and amazement, the show was picked up for another season and they had to pretend like it didn't happen.
That's pretty funny. Here's a French German-dubbed clip of the final moments of the episode, also on YouTube.
If that clip was dubbed in French, then I'll eat my chapeau! Lingster - please do not try to tell us what language something's in if your grasp of modern languages is somewhat shakey. I'm not altogether certain which language it has been dubbed-into (I suspect it's German), but it sure as hell isn't French.

Sorry, the descriptive link I found said "French". Now that I actually listen to it, you're right, it's German.

Funny, even though the clothes ripping wasn't convincing, or necessary. So who were those women?

Ah, my apologies. Who made the mistake, then, I wonder?

I'm afraid the synopsis maker made another boo-boo. When "Sledge Hammer!" got picked up for season 2, they didn't pretend the city didn't get destroyed. They just put quick caption saying that the series was in "prequel" mode with stories that happened before everything got nuked.
Cheesy cop-out (pun!), but that was pretty much the show's speed. :lol:
