It was worth watching while it lasted

Paul De Meo and Danny Bilson, fresh off the debacle of the "Flash" TV series (mostly thanks to CBS playing Musical Time Slots with it), tried their hand again at another comic book adaptation. It actually worked fairly well, but ABC quickly killed it off by putting it in a Saturday night time slot. The young adult male target audience for the show was usually out, so ratings were understandably rock bottom and the show was quickly cancelled. Sadly, De Meo & Bilson's later (and inferior) effort, Viper, found more success on NBC and in syndication, lasting four seasons.

Human Target had a fairly intriguing premise, sort of Mission: Impossible meets the Equalizer with a touch of the A-Team thrown in. And some neat hardware, mainly Chris Chance's flying wing airborne base of operations, its interior a mix of luxurious and computer-packed high-tech spaces. Not exactly low profile, but it was part of the suspension of disbelief required for this show. The show should have lasted a season and didn't deserve to be cancelled after seven episodes.moreless

Christopher Chance supported by a close knit, experienced crew solves crime and puts their own lives in danger for those in need of help. Chance may change his face and voice in order to fool the bad guys but who else could do what he does?moreless

Perhaps I'm the only one who was more interested in watching this television show than the Olympics that year. This was an excellent TV show that wasn't given a chance to shine! Rick Springfield was brilliant as ever even if he wasn't always around and the supporting cast was great too. It had suspense, action, romance and comedy as well as great character interaction, and good writers. I couldn't wait for the next episode to air. It could have been a really big hit if the Powers That Be hadn't tried to use it as a filler on their summer schedule. I cried when the show was cancelled after only 7 episodes but whose fault is that? The network should have known better than to air something at the same time as the Olympics. Even after so many years it has stuck in my head as something I wish there had been more of. I don't often buy movies or TV shows on DVD, but I would buy this one in a heartbeat if it was released on DVD.moreless
