Jake and the Fatman seaon 1

Format:DVD
If your a fan of Joe Penney (From Riptide)then you'll love this '80's series. Joe play private investigator Jake Styles who works with L.A district attorney J.L.(Fatman)McCabe. The relationship between the two leads works on alot of different levels. There's young guy(hothead)with older guy sensebilities. More like father and son in most cases.The action is good,and in the second season the show moves to Hawaii. But what stops me from giving this set 4 stars is the fact that Paramount split the season in half. Just like they did with Dynasty. Holding a series hostage and forcing you to buy the other half of the season is just downright greedy and mean on the studio's part. Don't they realize they would sell these series very well left intact? Especially when their competetors don't do it this way. In spite of Paramount's greed and lack of respect to their consumers,this is still a good series to have and own.

UTTERLY FANTASTIC!

JAKE AND THE FATMAN is an excellent show. Season 2 is actually
better than season 1. Season 1, however, is fast-paced and
action-packed. Joe Penny is an excellent co-hort, and actually
improves with age. This is a series that I passed up the
first time around. (Not quite ready to see "Cannon" in
another role). (Nor did I care for "Nero Wolfe" which took
place somewhere in between the two shows). However, it IS exciting,
and William Conrad is superb in his role. I must admit that I did
William Conrad a grave injustice by not checking out this
show. HIGHLY recommended!!!
