I love the series of books, though I will concede that the last few have seemed like the author was coasting.

Robert Urich was a little too smooth as Spenser, and Joe Mantegna a little too short. The best TV version would be a combo of both.

Can't wait until the TV series is out on DVD.

This was a great show. Both Robert Urich and Avery Brooks were great together. Hope its on DVD soon.

I used to watch that show, I was a big Spenser fan, I loved Robert Urich, he was the best Spenser of all time. I remember the theme song, it rocks, and the opening and closing credits of the show, and the logo too. I give that show a big 10. Long Live Spenser For Hire and Robert Urich.
