I didn't pay much attention to the t.v. guide heading when this first aired. 'Who cares' I think I quipped. Al Jarreau worked with Alf Claussen and Lee Holdrige on the theme song that has been a good music staple for me for many years. I love that theme song!!! But almost twenty years later and the people in control putting this on DVD digitally remastered, for the first time, made the difference for me. I bought it, and I don't even really know why, except that I was interested in seeing it and willing to pay the price. I do remember having a cassette of the remastered VHS version that I watched, which contained only the pilot episode. I bought it in a pawn shop for, I think $3.00. I wore that one out. I turned on the first episode from the DVD and the picture and sound was excellent! I watched the pilot and then went on from there. The writers were a major talent in this no-doubt. Between the comedic fast-paced verbal sparring that these two did, to the action and the chemistry, it just all kept growing on me. I love this series, and I can't wait to buy the next DVD set!!
I remember seeing a media ad for the show's up coming season back in 1986 and the two David and Maddie, looked as if they were both 'Glowing' and in love. They had this look that I will not soon forget. I thought about it, but it took years before, I would watch the show. My wife used to watch it on tuesday nights with her grandma.
So now on Sunday nights we try to keep a new ritual alive. The funny part about this for me, is that every time I watch an episode, it just makes a 'time travel trip' possible. I feel like I'm there, at least point, it reminds me of when it was that year and I recall the feelings, smells, tastes of that period in my life. Amazing what a little fun can do for your life. That's where the real fountain of youth is, being able to enjoy a good sense of humor and clean living' no regrets.
I just picked up season three, at a local retailer and it just keeps getting better and better, with each episode. Time has done well with this series.
I recommend this sharply made comedy-drama to anyone with a sharp mind and good sense of humor (****)
