Reviews

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Kirpianuscus or, more exactly, a special one. for the wise manner to present cases and dramas and radio station life. for the science to define an entire state of duty, passion and contact with near reality in the most precise, convincing way. the music, the acting, the story, the stories, all are great for the courage and science to give the right show about vulnerabilities, devotion, doubts and the importance of the life near you. and , in fact, this is the detail who transforms "Midnight Caller" in more than a real good series.
Parker Lewis Why is it that the top quality network shows don't go beyond three seasons? Midnight Caller should have gone on for at least five seasons but shame on the network for cancelling it.Midnight Caller was a show that captured the mood and atmosphere of San Francisco and late night talk show radio. The opening jazz theme by Rick Braun was spot on, absolutely memorable. Gary Cole was incredible as Jack Killian and it was encouraging and a landmark to see a Chinese- American actor, Dennis Dun play a positive role as Jack's Producer Billy Po. Midnight Caller needs to be on DVD!! If Saved by the Bell can get a DVD release, then how about Midnight Caller??
paxpuella This show was really good. Though, i was only 8 or 9 when it started airing, i still remember the tagline used at the end of every episode...it reads something like this:Goodnight America, wherever you are.
Brian-272 I don't remember much about this series I just remember it was on NBC and only lasted from 1988-1991. Like most cop related dramas it was dark, and moody. "Midnight Caller" featured Jack Killian (Gary Cole) as a late night radio talk show host. He was a former San Francisco cop who with his troubled past, went on the air to purge both his own demons and help callers with their own problems. Often Jack had to once again take on the role of a cop as many callers had problems that were crime related and he found himself investigating out into the streets of San Francisco. The best reason I remember to watch the show was the beautiful Wendy Kilbourne she played stylish Devon King who was Jack's boss at the radio station. The only episode I remember was the 2-Hour Movie Premier which was advertised perfect in a issue of TV Guide. I remember the picture in the TV Guide so well it was of Wendy Kilbourne and she had a piece of white tape around her mouth. This episode featured a guest villain who had a grudge against Jack (Gary Cole) so he holds Devon (Wendy) hostage at the radio station she is tied to a chair and has her mouth taped. Though hours later Jack came to Devon's rescue. That's all I remember about the show I don't know why it didn't last longer.
