UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

jmrmpd That's right, High Mountain Rangers sucked! It sucked Big TIME!!! And I don't mean Maybe!!!!! Robert Conrad basically couldn't act, for some silly reason, and neither could his sons! The only reason to watch this show was Robin, the hot looking Swedish Babe with blonde hair and blue eyes... After her, there wasn't much but the stupid dialog, and bad acting... That was only the first season. In the second season, Robin left the show, and so did the majority of the audience... Conrad should have stuck to acting... Oh, yes... Back to the Nasty Boys. It was PC claptrap. Craptrap, too, due to the Politically Correct movement back then...
SquirePM These people went absolutely the whole Hollywood hog. It was almost, but not quite, laughable. They strained to be oh, so hip and oh, so cool. The dialog was ludicrous, seeded deliberately with "cool" lines that sounded phony and were often not even appropriate to whatever action was on screen.But wait, there's more. They preached PC! The writers adopted Politically Correct causes and wrote scripts around them! You almost wanted to puke. In one episode, the only one I could make myself watch all the way through, the cool, hip Nasty Boys got nasty on some illegal gun runners. At the end they swooped down on the bad guys, caught them red handed doing the deal (without a shot fired, of course; can't show anybody getting hurt) and when everyone had surrendered they said something like, "All right you guys, get out of here and don't you ever do anything like this again. It's a good thing we got here in time. Now we can get these guns off the street." They arrested the guns and let all the criminals go!It was a classic, all right, a shining example of Hollywood PC claptrap.
scallender1 This was yet another show that was cancelled before it was even given a chance. That is one of the reasons I do not watch a lot of television today. All the good shows get cancelled, yet stupid sitcoms last forever. High Mountain Rangers was another great show that ended, and I am sure everybody can think of others. Great action. Fast paced. Exciting. this stupid window will not accept unless I have ten lines. this is annoying. I am used to saying short comments.
