[a pretty paramedic is treating Billy's bullet wound]
Billy Pike: Ah, ah, ah! Careful now! That's the arm I'm going to slip around you when I come a-courtin'... if you tell me where you live, that is.
Pretty Paramedic: Sixth District Fire Station - I live there with 12 men. If you can get past 'em, you'll deserve the trouble I cause you.
Featured review
very disappointing
What do you do when you have a brand-new tv show about time-travelling cowboys transported from the old west to 1980s houston, texas who have started a detective agency and have to deal with the mind-blowing culture shock of experiencing a new and confusing world? How about any of thousands of fun and exciting ideas based on such an absurd and entertaining premise? The cowboys have to deal with modern street gangs and get into an old-fashioned gunfight with crack dealers? Maybe they have to interact with modern technology to solve a case?
No. What you do is make a terrible, boilerplate 'made for lifetime network'-style story using the well-worn cliche of 'woman married to abusive mob boss wants to divorce him, but he wants their son'.
This is the first episode after the entertaining pilot, and they decided to deflate any action or adventure or fish-out-of-water humor and instead make a re-tooled soap opera script that had nothing to do with the characters being time-travelling cowboys. This is the kind of story that should have been resorted to somewhere around the 100 episode mark, but instead they decided to put it front and center. I wonder why the show only got one season? There are limitless fun things you could do with these characters but deborah dean davis (a cosmopolitan magazine writer! The last person who should have been writing a sci-fi western) decided to take a rejected 'hart to hart' script and set a few scenes at a ranch. I am outraged at this obscure, long-forgotten episode of a long-forgotten show! Curse you, deborah dean davis!
