Human Target?

Carlene · Jan 20, 2010

Anyone watch it? The opener on Sunday wasn't too bad but...I'm watching the second episode now and am getting a headache from rolling my eyes! OY!

Ok show I hope it lasts...but...
It might get two seasons for syndication.

I'm surprised Numb3rs is still around.

Is it based on the comic?

DeleyanLee · Jan 21, 2010

Saw part of one this week. It was OK. The only reason I'd watch it again is to see--can't remember his name--the guy who played Rorshach in Watchmen as the hacker guy. He was great fun.

Well, Chance, the main character is a hunk, fur sur. It might be based on a comic book character - that would explain the outrageous situations. Last night's episode took place on a commercial airplane, but it wasn't like any plane I've ever been on! There was actual space between seats for leg room! The cockpit was huge and there was ONE pilot! Oh, I could go on and on but when Chance flipped the plane and started flying upside down, I gave up.

I just checked it out. It's Christopher Chance, and it IS based on the comic! There was another series based on the same comic starring Rick Springfield about 20 years ago, but it did not last very long.

Eh, I didn't really like it. I thought I was going to.

It reminded me of...a poor man's 24 crossed with MacGyver, only not as good as MacGyver.

Hmm. I have it DVRed, but haven't watched it yet. If everyone here doesn't like it, I think I'll probably love it.

Rick Springfield was in a TV show other than General Hospital?

I thought they were trying to go down the Macgyver road but didn't even come close. Pity because the three lead roles are all good, enjoyable actors.

This would've been the #1 new show in 1983. As it is, it's stale, predictable and a waste of three fine actors.

Um, yeah. He was the original vampire on Forever Knight.

Yes! Did you know he also had songs other than Jesse's Girl, too?

Exactly. They had an encore on after 24 the other day and me and my friend likened it to watching a Jason Bourne flick and then following it up by watching a Roger Moore Bond flick.

I like that it is more episodic and less serialized than other, similar series. It's nice to be able to miss an ep. now and again. Jackie Earl Haley is so fun on there, and I agree the main guy is nice to look at.

Shadow_Ferret · Feb 11, 2010

OK. I finally got around to watching the shows I DVRed and I was right. This is my new favorite show. Pure fun.

No. Really?

veinglory · Feb 11, 2010

I notice he only rescues pretty women. [rolls eyes]

deepprincealain · Mar 17, 2010

There have been a couple of pretty men, too. He's apparently only for hire for pretty people.

jana13k · Mar 18, 2010

I take it as a tongue-in-cheek sort of comedy and like it. But then I loved Mark Valley in Keen Eddie, another short-lived comedy/action/adventure sort of show.
