Thank you, NBC, for bringing back (in not one but two TV movies), the innovative and wholly brilliant “Hunter” detective drama, to fill our viewing needs.
Many is the night I’ve drifted off to sleep think “I miss Stephanie ‘Dee Dee McCall’ Kramer. Boy, wasn’t “Hunter” just the best TV show ever!?”
My life has been an empty void since I’ve lost my weekly time with Fred “Rick Hunter” Dryer. Hell, I’ll be honest, I’ve missed my weekly time with Hunter’s really big gun. The TV movies will only fill my, um, void for a little while, but after being bereft for so long, I crave even the gentlest “Hunter” touch.
You have my gratitude, NBC. I’ll be sure to buy all our sponsor’s products.
I remember reading that the female co-star just about quit when they decided she should be raped for the second time as an exciting plot line during the series’ run.
My mom is PSYCHED about Hunter The Movie. She loooves Fred Dryer. If they could get Fred Dryer, Tom Selleck, and Pat Riley in a series together, she’d be in heaven.
I used to babysit a lot on Saturday nights in the 80s. No, I didn’t have a life.
So, yes. I watched “Hunter.”
And a lot of other TV that I’m sort of ashamed of…
but think, with this - how far away can we be from a TJ Hooker reunion show?
Yup. Along with The Equalizer, MAS*H, Spencer for Hire, Magnum PI, and just about any other 80s detective-type series. It’s what happens when your father controls the remote and there’s only one TV in the house.
Nope, but it was one of the shows I was forced to watch as a kid. For some reason those were the only shows that came to mind as I was typing, but I could’ve added BJ and the Bear and The Dukes of Hazard and a few other paragons of 80s TV culture. Want me to keep going?
