Topic: Completed Series?

Well, Honey West does sound like a Bond girl rather than a strong female character.

Never heard of the show.

Just finished the last season of Ironside (season 8, aussie release), including the TV movie The Return of Ironside. I really liked the show. Chief Ironside had a gruff kind of humor that appealed to me. I'm going to miss him.

If I want more of Raymond Burr, there are several seasons of Perry Mason that I still haven't bought. But I actually liked him better in Ironside. Not that Perry Mason is bad, it's just that I find that courtroom drama is best enjoyed sparingly.

And not the newer PM ... I really like Raymond Burr but he really wasn't up on his game in the later tv movies.

I have been working on completing this series for years... last night I finally completed my collection!

I just finished watching Disney's Zorro. This came as two Walt Disney Treasues sets back in 2009, but I just watched a few episodes back then and only recently resumed watching it. The show consists of two seasons with 39 half hour episodes each, plus 4 one hour long episodes that were part of season 7 of Disneyland.

What makes this show special is of course Guy Williams as Don Diego de la Vega / Zorro. His charisma makes him the ultimate Zorro, in my opinion. Henry Calvin is also very good as the bumbling Sergeant Garcia. The stories are quite fun, but if you watch too many of them in one go, the fencing gets to be a bit much.

In one of the featurettes Guy Williams Jr says that he could always tell when it was his father in the Zorro costume and when it was his stuntman Buddy Van Horn. Well, I tried, but I couldn't tell the difference. One would of course know that it was Van Horn when there was a particularly hairy stunt, like falling off a horse, but for simpler stunts I could never be sure. Buddy later became Clint Eastwood's stuntman, and also directed him in three movies.

There were quite a number of fairly well known (then, or later) guest stars, like Gloria Talbot, Robert J. Wilke, Richard Anderson, Cesar Romero, Ken Lynch, Annette Funicello, Everett Sloan, Mary Wickes, Rita Moreno, Mark Damon, Jack Kruschen, Vito Scotti, Gilbert Roland, Ricardo Montalban, Whit Bissell, James Hong, Robert Vaughn, Ross Martin, Lee Van Cleef and Jack Elam, just to mention a few.

So that's another TV show that I can tick off as watched.
