I would have to say that in the final season (S2) they just wrote out Hondo's family like they never existed. Hondo has a few romantic encounters in the final season. I have always joked that Steve Forrest wanted to be more like the younger actors on the show instead of being tied down. Ha Ha!
Some other things that are different is that in season one the T.J. character was engaged. In the final season he was single which made it easier for him to get the upper hand on the Luca character in a few episodes when it came to dating.
In both the first season and final season they used...
Actually in season 1 there were several episodes where they investigated the crime, the two that come to mind are "Coven of Killers and Death Carrier" but I am sure there are others. I think it was in the first episode that the Hondo character stated that S.W.A.T. would help out the regular...
I have watched a few episodes of S.W.A.T. and the quality looks about the same as the first season set from Sony. However I do appreciate that Shout! Factory put in chapter breaks, that makes a big difference to me. I haven't watched "Deadly Tide" or "Running Man" yet on this set but when I...
There are two failed pilots that I would snap up in a heartbeat if I could find them.
Adam's House with Karen Valentine
The Ladies of Sweet Street with Doris Roberts
I am sure there are more but these come to mind.
Wow!!! Cliff you have just made my year! I did not think I would ever see the word "SWAT Season 2" on a post about shows to be released. So many people contact me and ask me when it will ever be coming out and I never have any good news for them. Looking forward to a great 2012!!
My list is really short, I only want more Barnaby Jones. After waiting so long and finally getting season 1, I thought we were finally going somewhere. Too bad the market has slumped for classic shows.
I thought the SWAT movie was pretty good but just not anything like the tv series outside of using a few of the characters names. However I am for anything that gets the second season of the tv show released.
Wow I am really behind but I just found out they are making a SWAT 2 movie. It is suppose to be a sequel to the first movie but has all new characters. However everything I read states it is a sequel and based on the 70's tv show so maybe there is a tiny hope that the second season of the tv...
The main reason I haven't switched to Blu-ray is that I like being able to watch in any machine in the house and I only have Blu-ray on the main tv. I find that the biggest drawback, and I guess the solution would be to replace all the dvd players with Blu-ray but until that happens I will...
I wish there was some news about the second season of S.W.A.T. especially since you can no longer find the episodes online anywhere. I wish that was a sign that they were going to put it out on DVD but I have a feeling it isn't.
I can't believe the number of people who say they never heard of "Matt Houston" or never watched it. It was one of my favorite shows and I never missed it. I thought it did really well back in those day and was pretty popular but maybe not.
It is good to hear that so far they look good, I look forward to the review. So far 2010 has been really good to me as far as series that I have been waiting for to be released.
Thanks! What I was referring to was that with other DVD sets if I want to watch a certain episode I have to get out the cover and find out what disc it is on or in some cases pull out a leaflet that tells me which disc I have to get out for that episode. With this Barnaby Jones set I just look...
I am just curious since I only own about 30 DVD sets and this is the first set that I have seen where the titles are the episodes are on each DVD. I really like that feature and just wondered if it was something new.
I just watched that episode last night and then went and found the two copies I have of that episode from different stations during syndication in the late 80's and early 90's. In one episode they cut the scene entirely and had the boys go into the locker room and then they are at the window...
I received my set yesterday and have watched the first three episodes. I am trying to pace myself but that is hard to do since I can't get over the quality of these episodes. It is amazing, so clear and I am seeing things I have never seen before. They did a great job on these and they are...
