Well ... we are in the age of super-shows, where the fate of the world depends on survivors of a smoky island, where Mr Spock rings a Bell, where Malcolm Reynolds writes HEATed bestsellers, the undead are roaming the streets, vampires are a fashion statement, the word shadow has a whole new meaning, Apollo becomes a terrorist ...
... and "Scarecrow and Mrs King" was slowly disappearing from my memory...
But finally the DVDs came out. I watched season 1+2 (48 episodes) in 8 (yes, I can be that crazy) days during my Christmas break, starting a bit amused with the first episode, and getting hooked again just as I was the first time (me in the age of 8)! For days and nights I was by Amanda's side, falling in love with Scarecrow (poor Dean), saving innocent people, catching those unfortunate enough getting in our way and talking Lee Stetson into deafness. I was close to tears when the car exploded (you know what I mean ;) ), excited to see faces I knew from other shows - and got a major surprise when I came to then episodes in Europe.
I should add that I am German, and the first time I saw this show was of course dubbed. Listening to the original made the show even better, and Bruce actually speaks a great German! Kate not so much, but who cares ;)
So, if you are still reading this: the show is from the 80's with a different idea of special effects and stunts, we are talking about a different pace and during the first two seasons you'll come across a lot of things that don't really make sense. But the whole show and its characters are sooo funny, gripping and heartwarming to be my all-time No.1!
Oh, and by the way, this is written from a woman, OF COURSE I had (and have again :D) a major crush on Bruce, and I can still be objective - But on the other hand, do I need to?
