Reviews

abbagabbitz The "hero," played by Jon-Erik Hexum (Mac Harper) was a sort of Macgyver, before MacGyver, and CBS' seeming answer to the A-Team. He was an "undercover fashion model" for the CIA. Jennifer O'Neill was his partner, and the fashion photographer that made his status plausible. The show was heavy on action, short on scripts. It was sort of an early, not as good or believable, version of the TNT show "Leverage."After 7 episodes, Mr. Hexum, while he was bored waiting for shooting to resume, made the tragic mistake of doing some shooting of his own. Even he realized how insanely and inanely implausible the scripts were, and took a .44 Magnum, partially loaded with "blanks," said something along the lines of "let's see if I can get me," put it to his head and squeezed the trigger. The wadding from the blank sent a chunk of his skull into his brain. Life support was withdrawn 8 days later. Anthony Hamilton (Jack Striker) was brought in as another undercover fashion model for the CIA to complete the remaining episodes. The show was not the answer to the A-Team that CBS had hoped for; and, despite decent ratings, was canceled after one season. If not for Jennifer O'Neill being in every episode, and the brief media sensation caused by Mr. Hexum's tragic demise, it is questionable if the show would have made it through a whole season. There was a brief frenzy also about the need for gun control based on Mr. Hexum's accidental suicide. The theme song can sometimes still be heard: "Holding Out for a Hero."
elshikh4 Cover Up was one of the best. I've enjoyed it so much. But I discovered later that nobody watched it except me !!It was a good espionage plot with a lot of erotic elements. You can get it easily from a small plot summary such as (a young photographer and her models in the spying business) or (a fashion house as a front for special intelligence). So it provides good sexy girls with good action too. And no wonder, it was the Charlie's Angels-era. It came out 8 years after of the beginning of Charlie's Angels, and OH BOY, the 1980s were the golden years for the female beauty on TV where every thing was at its top : the fashion, the hairdos…WAW it was my golden years too !Here you'll have it all. I think this show, and its likes of the same era, put the ideal definition for the most exquisite female seduction you'd ever have from a TV-series, starting from all the pretty girls in here (Jennifer O'Neill is out of them of course) to the bright colorful cinematography. There are moments of pure sexiness yet done with class. Some of them went directly to the classic section of my memories. For example, who can forget Catherine Oxenberg taking a bubble bath in the pilot episode? It seems now so peaceful and tame, but back then, it was daring. Yes, the sudden death of Jon-Erik Hexum was disappointing, being an early reason to end the show. But for me, Antony Hamilton was that good as well. Unfortunately THEY finally canceled it after only 20 episodes, and it's my eternal importunate question : Why on earth did they cancel it ?! My fuss gets larger and larger when you find another shows (real very stupid ones) that lasted that long; like La Femme Nikita (5 Seasons), or Nash Bridges (6 Seasons)..etc, while there were a lot of nice shows that got canceled for no convincing reason. Therefore I'm giving you my list of them as honoring and as an epitaph ! : 1 - Secret Agent Man (2000) 12 Episodes2 - Cover Up (1984) 20 Episodes3 - Vengeance Unlimited (1998) 16 Episodes4 - Over My Dead Body (1990) 12 Episodes5 - The Lone Gunmen (2001) 13 Episodes 6 - The Hat Squad (1992) 12 Episodes 7 - A Man Called Hawk (1989) 13 Episodes A due tribute to all of them and their die hard fans. Oh how I miss the rare good time which I've had with these previous, rather late, shows. If only they lasted a bit more !
Tarzan1900 When I was a kid, I was a fan of Jon-Erik Hexum, mainly because of his show "Voyager", so I became a fan of his new show "Cover-Up", it was not Shakespeare and it could have been better but it was fun to watch, a kind of James Bond fantasy show. It was exiting, and the show did his job: entertain boys and get girls (and the mothers of some kids) in love with Jon-Erik Hexum. I was shocked to hear that the "Jon" was "playing" with a "blank semi loaded" gun and shot himself. What was he thinking!? well not much obviously!! This 26 years old man, considered on of the most photogenic men in Hollywood, still almost 20 years later, it is hard to find an actor (good actor) with his good look and great body, the man was a Greek sculpture. He had every thing to become a big screen superstar. He made just one mistake, to treat guns like toys, one thing a I leaned since very young "GUN ARE ALWAYS LOADED, EVEN IF THEY ARE EMPTY", an empty gun should be treated as the most dangerous weapon; as a fact many "accident" (the correct word is criminal negligence)are caused by guns that were supposed to be empty. I feel sorry for Jon and his family, but it would have been worst if he had aimed the gun to an innocent bystander. He lost his live, present and future. He stole happiness from himself.
Buck Aroo I certainly don't have fond memories of this series.It was pretty cheesey back in 1985 when I first saw it. Jennifer O'Neal was as wooden in it as she was in most of her other roles, Including 'Scanners', but only Michael Ironside was really good in that movie. This seemed to be a cross between Charlie's Angels and Remmington Steele, but wasn't as watchable as either series. It's also infamous and memorable to some, because one of it's stars Jon Erik Hexum, was playing around with a prop pistol loaded with blanks, put it to his head, and fired. Without knowing that blanks can actually kill because there is still a discharge from the weapon when fired.
