          I haven't heard of it either, though the title intrigues me.

            Neat!

            I haven't seen this since I was a kid, and I'm curious now. I remember sort of losing interest with later episodes, so that kinda makes me nervous.

              Yep, I watched it when I was in college.. I was irritated that it got cancelled. Stephen Collins did a super job as lead. CBS had a show ('Bring em Back Alive' or something..??), but this one was the best of the inevitable 'Raiders'-influenced shows.

                as has been stated in other theads about TOGM what we didn't know then was this was pitched and the pilot shot before raiders was out (as opposed to Bring em back alive which was a deadon after raiders knock off) but ABC shelved it. after raiders they dusted it off for air. That's why it has a more bogart casablanca feel to it than the raiders cliffhanger vibe. It was a brilliant show I never missed

                        I would have thought this show aired in the late eighties to early nineties. just does not seem that long ago I was watching it...although truth to tell I don't remember much about it....must be old age creeping in

                          This was great! don't forget Collins did over 10 years of 7th heaven after this. it's been quite awhile.

                            I remember this a bit from childhood, and then watched re-runs on Sci-Fi back in the 90s. Stephen Collins is a good lead TV guy.
