I enjoyed his performances in his roles.
You know, I watch some old shows I used to like once in a while. Remington Steel, Fall Guy..., it’s sort of painful to watch the shows seem so much less polished than they are today.
The stories were better because they didn’t get so ugly, but the production values were pretty bad sometimes.
Well, we didn’t have hi-def and we didn’t have HBO. But we did have standards. I tend to watch tv comedies like Dick Van Dyke rather than hour long dramas or mysteries.
I still love Remington Steele.
There was very little plot carry over from one episode to the next. You could miss 2 episodes and watch the next episode without having to rely on what had happened in the previous two episodes.
Now, most tv shows have multiple story lines that carry over from one episode to the next with little if any resolution. If the show gets cancelled prematurely, you are left with no closure and a bunch of open, unresolved plot lines
Try watching the series Lost with a missing episode.
You will be Lost.
I am taken aback by how underdeveloped and skinny Remington Steele is by today’s standards.
He had, like, zero upper body development.
