Hunter: Season 1

"Works For Me"

Often dubbed as T.V.'s answer to Dirty Harry, former football star Fred Dryer lights up the screen as Los Angeles police detective Rick Hunter, a renegade cop who brakes the rules and takes justice into his own hands. Patnered with the equally stunning & rebellious Sgt.Dee Dee "The Brass Cupcake" McCall(Stepfanie Kramer), the tough-minded duo bring an edgy attitude, extreme action, sly humor and sexual chemistry while cracking down on LA's slimiest criminals.








AHHHH the good old day's of evening television. As a young lad my week was broken up by T.V shows that while not as strong as the films I love, still had a harder edge to them. Shows like Magnum P.I., Simon & Simon, Tough Guy, Rockford Files, Miami Vice & Hunter had me eagerly awaiting next weeks installment like a crack head jonesing for the devils dick.  Hunter was just a little different than the others though, it plays more like a film than a t.v. show with bigger car chases, bigger shoot outs & bigger stunt work. It's been a long time since the last time I watched this show & remember the later episodes really starting to falter, but revisiting the first season has rekindled my fond memories for this show. Created by the same guy that brought us the A-Team & is littered with guest appearances the likes of Brian Dennehy, Dennis Franz, Bo Svenson, Ed O'Neil..ect, I can't say for sure but it must have been the benchmark for special appearances that only Miami Vice could touch later on.
