Good Ol' Campy Fun

This show was one of the 10 or so I made it a point to watch in the mid- to-late '90s. Not because it was well-written or because it was revolutionary in some way, but because it was just plain fun! The first season was pretty "bad" start to finish, but the show had little budget. However, as each season progressed, the writing got better, and the story's arc got stronger.

The main reason to watch this show is for the chemistry between David Carradine and Chris Potter. It is beautiful to behold and comes to a very touching conclusion in the season 4 finale (I'm still a little miffed they never had a final season).

As for the rest, you've got some good performances, some awful performances, some surprise guest appearances and fun cameos, and some pretty cheesy special effects (even for 20 years ago), but if you just take it as it is, it's a pleasant way to spend your evening.
