TC-4 Review of Mike Hammer, Private Eye

Mike Hammer, Private Eye (1997–1998)

Better than the earlier series

[15 August 2000]

This syndicated show is a much grittier version of the show that was on the network in the 80's. Hammer is a tougher guy and is much more like the Darren McGavin version of the 50's which I liked best of all. There are no better scenes than when he tangles with the D.A. Barrington played by Kent Williams who should have gotten an Emmy. I hope that Stacy makes newer episodes as this character will never die.
