I stumbled on this on FreeVee almost 30 years after its original airing. I guess I was too busy raising teenagers to notice it back then. The pre-Revolutionary War setting and history drew me in, but the action/adventure and intrigue kept me viewing all 22 episodes the last week or so. Each episode presents its own plots, with the principal characters growing/evolving within. As you can easily guess by the advertising jacket, Lee Horsely and Lynda Carter develop a romantic relationship, but put on a painfully slow-burn due to reasons within the story. Aside from the bloodshed necessitated by the French and Indian War surrounding the storyline, this is 'family values' viewing. A few episodes go into PG-13 level circumstances, but these are handled with carefully crafted morality lessons. It was a great watch...I am hoping I can unearth more gems like this.
