Reviews

wkozak221 I love(d) this series. When this was on regular TV I videotaped every episode. I found it extremely well written. The actors/actresses brought the characters to life. Each episode had bits of drama, humor, pathos and anguish. I tbought the writers followed the books feel very well. They conveyed the sense of the novels to TV. I think they should have stopped when the series was cancelled. I have seen the movies with joe mantenga and the others. I did not feel intimidated at all. When I saw robert urich and avery brooks I felt the you were watching spenser and hawk in person on the screen. It was fun to watch Spenser driving his reliable classic mustang while Hawk kept getting another new car. The series was very well done. I got used to watching Carolyn McCormack instead of Barbara Stock. Too bad they don't rerun the series.

friedlansky The DVD for the Spenser series is now available. The version I bought for $99.95 US contained 67 episodes on 17 discs. There were no "extras" such as: menus or scene selection. The episode guide promised in the add was not included When I enquired, I was told it was available on the internet! Anyway, the color is OK, the sound is a bit wonky. The screen is the standard screen. No subtitles. Looks like it was taped off the air and downloaded on DVD. Some bits of the original commercials pop up. Otherwise, enjoyable. Urich and Brooks are excellent in their roles. However, the Spenser character seems to kill a lot of people every week.

MCETXCEM This was and is the best series about PI's ever, Robert Urich and Avery Brooks where what made this series great also Richard Jaeckal and Ron McLarty were great support, The episodes of the first season were the best of the series, the 2nd season had standout episodes, but was not as good as the first, the third season started to show the shows age but I can't think of a bad episode, I love a show which surprises you and causes the hair on the back of your neck to stand up!!, and this show did, Hawk was such a great character and there is only one Hawk!!(Avery Brooks), This show had the human touch which is lost on shows today, this show is not dated it looks as though it was released todayIt is my desire to own all three seasons on DVD someday when they are released, Robert Urich was a TV god to me and he is truly missed, this is TV to be remembered, Oh yeah Barbara Stock was OK!(No Truly great acting there) and Carolyn McCormick had bite in **Eye For An Eye** but after that she was dull and un-interestingOver all a truly great show!!

hobbitbob What can I say? This series captured the essence of the Spenser novels, written by the one man selected by the Chandler estate to finish the unfinished Philip Marlowe novel (Robert B. Parker). Robert Urich's portrayal of Parker's updated version of "the last good man" is unmatched, and I can't imagine any other actor in this role. Avery Brooks brings out the human side of Hawk, whose humanity developed in the Parker novels. Even Susan, although played by an actress far too young for the role, works.All in all a fine tribute to Parker and his best known character.
