Black Moon Rising was a 1986 dramatic action television show that followed the character of Quint (Tommy Lee Jones). Quint was a professional criminal and is hired by the FBI to steal data from a company that they are investigating. The tape is pertinent to the FBI's case, so they call in Quint, who they know to be a great robber from his countless robbery charges. All he has to do is steal the data tape without anyone finding him.moreless
This was a pretty good television series. As is normal with good television shows, this one did not last long enough. This is a show that I would suggest watching if you get the chance. Check the bargain bins at Wal-Mart, the online movies sites (Amazon.com and such) and all of the cable channels that run old shows. Nick at Nite and TV Land are great for theses kind of shows. They will even do a week long spot for shows that only had 6 or so episodes. Then you have your super stations. They run a bunch of old shows too. All in all a pretty good show that did not get a good enough chance. Sometimes it is a simple as the show it is up against. Look at Law & Order. It is one of the longest running shows on TV. They moved it to go up against Lost. After about 2 weeks of getting pounded in the ratings it was moved back to it's original time slot. Shows like this should be given more of an opportunity.moreless
