BARGAIN OF THE WEEK: HUNTER (COMPLETE SEASON ONE)

AMAZON has this 4-DVD set for an amazing price of $6.99! That’s 20 episodes of “Dirty Harry-lite” with former NFL defensive end Fred Dryer as a rogue cop. But the main attraction is Hunter’s hot partner, Detective Dee Dee McCall (aka, The Brass Cupcake), played by the fetching Stepfanie Kramer. Hunter ran from 1984 to 1991 (although Stepfanie Kramer bailed out after Season Six). I consider Season One the best of the bunch. After the first season, the network suits insisted that the violence be “toned down” a few notches. The last couple seasons are pretty bland. But, the First Season is the Real Deal. And, for the price of a new paperback, you can have hours of viewing enjoyment! GRADE: B+

    What a bargain! And I agree, McCall was hot! She also wore a lot of short skirts.

    The last couple of seasons sucked but when it started HUNTER was a lot of fun.

      Yes, Jeff, there didn’t seem to be an episode where Stepfanie Kramer wasn’t dressed up as a hooker to trap the Bad Guys!

    I thought Dryer was very good, and the series, at least the first few seasons, was well-written. And, yes, Kramer was attractive and was also a good actress.

      Fred Dryer was surprisingly good in his HUNTER role, Rick. But I always liked Stepfanie Kramer. I wonder what happened to her…
