Avery Brooks (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) co-stars as `Hawk' in these television events based on the best-selling books by Robert B. Parker that The New York Times calls "one of the great series in the history of the American detective story." SPENSER: CEREMONY Starring Robert Urich, Avery Brooks, Barbara Williams Screenplay by Robert P. Parker & Joan H. Parker When a 16-year-old girl disappears into Boston's sleazy underbelly, Spenser and Hawk pull the trigger on a teen pornography ring that leads to a shocking final twist. SPENSER: PALE KINGS AND PRINCES Starring Robert Urich, Avery Brooks, Barbara Williams, Alex Carter (CSI), Matthew Ferguson (La Femme Nikita) Screenplay by Robert P. Parker & Joan H. Parker Spenser, his `lady shrink' girlfriend Susan Silverman, and Hawk investigate a brutal murder in a quaint New England town where snow falls in kilo packages. SPENSER: THE JUDAS GOAT Starring Robert Urich, Avery Brooks, Wendy Crewson (24, AIR FORCE ONE) Spenser is hired out-of-town and may be out of his league when a terrorist group with a taste for car bombs targets a controversial African leader. SPENSER: A SAVAGE PLACE Starring Robert Urich, Avery Brooks, Cynthia Dale, Wendy Crewson A TV news cameraman is found murdered, and Spencer is hired by an old flame to investigate a movie producer who may be shooting more than film. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Tough GuysHumphrey Bogart,Lee Marvin,Robert Mitchum and John Wayne are my favorite tough guys. I have to add more to this list becauce in this collection Urich and Brooks really carry on the "TOUGH GUY" tradition,smart,smooth with the ladies and won't back down from anything. I truely and completely enjoyed this collection and would love to see the TV series as well. JOHN BEAN Rating:  - Spenser for Hire - the Movie CollectionThe movies don't even come close to touching the quality of the TV series. Spenser and Hawk seem like tired caricatures of themselves and Susan doesn't add anything to the mix. In fact, the movies would be better without her. If they ever put the TV series on DVD, I'd love to have it! Rating: - Spenser for HireSpenser for Hire is simply good entertaining television. ABC should also consider offering the short-lived "A Man Called Hawk" on DVD as well. Rating: - Spenser: OpinionI miss Barbara Stock. The chemistry between Robert Urich and Avery Brooks is still good, even though they shot much of it in Canada. Did I mention that I miss Barbara Stock? What were they thinking? Rating:  - Me Want More!I would give this product a 3.75 Star if it was available--maybe a 4 for old time sake! I love the Spenser for Hire series. These were TV movies, I guess. I hadn't seen them before, so that was good. I would like to get the entire TV series on DVD. Personally, I love Hawk. Avery Brooks is awesome. Robert Urich is the ultimate woman's man--so kind and sensitive, but not too... |
