Memorergi good film but with many flaws

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

edduay I watched this show with my first girlfriend since it all started and we love it dearly until now. it got everything, romance, action, comedy, suspense, excellent writers/directors and the plots, you can never guess( even just one of them) what will happen or who done who. that is good entertainment! the show treat their audience intelligently unlike "moonlighting". Pierce is very good so as Doris Roberts but all hands up to Stephanie, her timing is excellent and her portrayal of the character is very inspiring to woman during that time! independent, brilliant, sporty and yet sophisticated cute private detective. i have a huge crush on her! Now here in England, i found out that reruns is on in CBS Action channel, Bravo! even though its 5am i do still watching and enjoying it! God bless this cable channel! too bad the DVD collection is on NTSC format and and only season 1 and 2 on PAL. but still i bought all....the best TV show for me no.1. " Steele in chips" episode season 3 is one of the best..

bwfilmfan ...That is, when I saw these in syndication on KDOC and PAX TV in the 90's, I would have definitely given the show a 10 or an 11. Re-watching the show at age 30, the flaws are apparent. Stephanie Zimbalist and Pierce Brosnan are one of the most gorgeous TV couples of all time, but it doesn't make up for the relative fluff of most of the show's mysteries past the first and second season. Frankly the show was more mentally bracing at the start, and just a tad more realistic (someone with no investigative training is naturally going to fumble some cases, like Steele did in the maiden season). Season 3-4 mysteries are low budget spy capers and Bond thrillers (I really suspect as early as 1984 word that Roger Moore was on the outs had reached Pierce's ears) and every case can be solved by a film only Steele has seen, or by an international jewel only he can pilfer. After awhile I frankly got sick of watching Brosnan strut and solve essentially action hero situations. In one episode, he literally rides in at nightfall on a white horse. Zimbalist's Laura Holt is dumbed down to accommodate the change, just as her friends and allies Bernice and Murphy from Season One are dumped to bring in Steele worshiping secretary Mildred Krebs. Laura Holt becomes an unlucky in love prude who takes an hour to solve clues that in Season 1 she would have solved in five minutes. This concludes with the sad S4 Laura hating marriage episode in which Steele sits in an immaculate tuxedo watching his bride-to-be Laura getting drowned in a pile of mud by a rather large man, grinning ear to ear. Funny and romantic? I find it richly ironic that a show that was supposed to be sympathetic to a woman not getting her due ended up mirroring the predicament in real life. But let me shut up and say what I'm supposed to: long live James Bond.

Xenos1981 Pierce Brosnan... Stephanie Zimbalist... Mystery... Comedy... Sexual tension.'Nuff said.Now go buy this series! "Remington Steele" -- Seasons One through Three are available in stores and on-line now. Seasons Four and Five will be available beginning August 15, 2006.("Remington Steele" also stars Doris Roberts of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' fame as Mildred Krebs. It was created by Michael Gleason and Robert Butler.)

djoyjr Not only were the mysteries satisfying and the characters both intriguing and likable, but the smooth jazz of the theme and soundtrack were unbeatable and the best since Peter Gunn. Beyond that, the dialog and banter was intelligent. Sometimes, you actually have to think about the reference and connect the dots to get to the laugh. Heaven forbid that should happen on TV today )which probably explains why I don't watch much original TV). I started watching the Season One DVDs and it was like meeting an old friend I hadn't seen for years. I've introduced my 18 year old son to "Remington Steele" and he finds them as entertaining as I do. New we have to wait until November for Season Two!
