Not as good!

This attempt to revive Mike Hammer was a failure. Why do they do this. The first show was one of my favorite shows. There were a lot of really good detective shows in the 80's but this revival did not hold up. Yes, Stacy Keach was great but the stories and additional characters did not hold up to Keach's original 1980's series. The writing is boring, the narration is lacking in the Mike Hammer humor, and the addition of two other detectives is totally bogus. Too many times the stories did not feature Mike but the younger two detectives. When will they release the original series on DVD, Blu-ray or digitally. It is so much better and I have been waiting for years.
