I liked that show too. Haven't seen the other series with Janssen. I had no use for the Charlie's Angels fluff - that was just a way of giving starlets tv work, and bringing in the male audience.D.G.

The Harry O scripts always made you reflect on who you were and who you could be (both bad and good versions!)<br /><br />Alex:<br />A thinking gunman who wore black and took money for shooting -- quite a different take on the cowboy hero, right?<br /><br />Robin:<br />Yes, TV gives less and less time for a series to prove itself these days! Three shows in and BAM! Cancelled. Hardly enough time, right? I think you are right about Harry O being shown in the wrong time slot. But there are only just so many late slots available to networks. :-(Roland D.

I was around 10 when that show came on and was utterly fascinated by three beautiful ladies solving crime with the help from the speaker box (Charlie). <br /><br />I think Harry O was just a bit too early for me. What I mean by that is too adult for my younger than 10 self to relate to it in any sort of way. I don't know why ABC didn't move it's time slot to 9:00 or 10:00 (since it seemed geared to more mature audiences) to pave the way for Charlie's Angels.<br /><br />Ironically, it was far easier for a show to survive ONE SEASON then than now. I've seen 'em get cancelled just a few shows in. They give the audience just over zero minutes to decide they love it. Which is why so much of TV right now looks exactly the same (one police serial after another). The execs are sticking with the familiar that is proven. If it's different in any way (aka good), don't expect it to last in this era. It takes people time to adapt to new and there isn't much new on these days. And the execs give NO time. And there it is.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-80336739676755192642015-04-09T08:44:38.577-05:002015-04-09T08:44:38.577-05:00I don't remember Harry O, but I did watch Have...I don't remember Harry O, but I did watch Have Gun Will Travel.Alex J.

Harry O sounds like a better show though.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-66880597571127784952015-04-09T00:58:31.759-05:002015-04-09T00:58:31.759-05:00I saw a little of one episode of Charlie's Ang...I saw a little of one episode of Charlie's Angels.
