Hardball

I agree with 'what happened'??? This was a really good show but apparently didn't pick up the viewers. That was their loss and ultimately the fans it did garner. The show was a mixture of drama and comedy from my recollection. I just remember it was GREAT!!!

Okay, this was a short-lived series that should have continued.

I especially got a kick out of the suspenseful, action-packed pilot (first episode), and loved the relationships that developed, especially between "Kaz" (Richard Tyson) and "Billy" (Jarrett Lennon), who was kidnapped, and ended up in huge and exciting (and VERY FUNNY!) adventures. I liked the icehouse scenes the best, and that car scene (into the bay) was HOT!

Whatever HAPPENED to Richard Tyson?! He was funny-cool!

I was very sorry when the series ended. I enjoyed enormously, all the episodes, the stories, the actors, everything about it. The thread has been taken from "Beverly Hills cop" - I believe- from the scene where Billy ( who was reloading his gun), hidden together with Taggart (John Ashton) behind a wall, on their bellies, to avoid the bullets of Victor Maitland's goons, said to Taggart that the scene reminds him of Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid, when they were surrounded by the Bolivian Army and run out of bullets;to which Taggart(John Ashton) answered that if they will get out alive from that jam, he will make Billy(character played by Judge Reinhold)pay!! The scene was extremely funny and somebody had the idea to take these two characters out of this movie and make a series. They created Kaz and Battles from Billy and Taggart, from "Beverly Hills cop". I did not manage to tape the pilot. Could anybody help me with information where could I get a copy of the pilot? The entire series has not been released on DVD or on VHS, here in England; it only has been televised once.

I LOVED this series, I have a few of them on tape. I started watching the pilot because I was a John Ashton fan, and he is closer to my own age... but by the time the pilot movie was over with I had fallen in LOVE with Richard! The first season was way better than the second.. for as long as the second lasted! I would really like to have a copy of the original pilot movie. I have tried and tried to find it but have never been lucky, if anyone can help me find a copy, please let me know! I am a huge fan of Richard Tyson and have seen him three times in person. I think he will someday be a big star, it's just taking him a long time! I can send a blank tape if someone can make a transfer, or if anyone can give me some ideas on where to look for a copy, I would appreciate any help.

This was one of the best series ever, everyone remembers hardball. it's a shame it only ran for one series.

The chemistry between John Ashton & Richard Tyson was amazing, it has to be one of the most underrated TV shows that people enjoyed that never got a second series or even more.

The comedy between these two was brilliant. it's a shame they can't remake the series as it would not be the same without John Ashton & Richard Tyson, to me they made hardball and it would be impossible to replace them.

Columbia Pictures Television would make a fortune if they released this as a box set. i'm almost certain it would be a hit.
