Der Marshal

This show ran for one season and a bit, and was obviously inspired by the U.S. Marshals in The Fugitive (1993), although Fahey's character is nothing like Tommy Lee Jones'.

The first season was billed as an action show, but actually featured complex plots and required the viewer think. As you can imagine, network suits put a stop to THAT, and the show was dumbed way down for season 2, then cancelled.

It's too bad; Fahey is a certain type of actor (along with, say, Bill Campbell)-- the kind who labours in B-movie hell, but every once in a while gets a miracle shot to prove what he or she can do, and STILL can't catch a break.

Wonderful show . Best show ABC had , too bad they were to stupid to see it. Maybe they'll get a conscious and put it on DVD for us loyal fans.

My comment is this..... from the first time I saw Jeff Fahey I knew that I would never be disappointed. He has talent above all others. Every episode of The Marshall was what I looked forward to every time it aired. I know that was years ago but I remember each of them like they were actually part of my life , you know like yesterday. I wish I could watch them over and over but I don't have that luxury. If anyone has any suggestions on where I could get access to any of "The Marshall" shows even just to watch them on line I would greatly appreciative and ever so grateful.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am Jeff Fahey's #1 FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another example of the networks wasting of a great TV show. Actor Jeff Fahey as U.S. Marshal McBride was great and his character was real, always trying to do his stressful job and juggle family and good morals, and the network tries to convert it to a blow up everything and shoot everything type of show which sealed its fate rather quickly. The scenery in the show was always nice and the acting was superb. The plots were always creative until the changed directions. Characters that the viewer can relate to are always better than network heroes the shoot and destroy everything in sight. It was fun while it lasted. We will miss you U.S. Marshall McBride.

This show had got to be one of the BEST cop shows ever to have been shown.

Jeff Fahey stars as Winston MacBride, a married man with 2 little girls that chases criminals that disobey the law. I have seen other cop shows but not one of them made me go back every week (and even on repeat nights) to watch it. I was so sad when they decided after a year not to re-new the series.

If you have the fortune to get this show as a re-run where you live, take the time to watch it.

If you love cop shows you will love this show, if you hate cop shows you will still love it.

The Characters are awesome to watch, the acting is top notch, and I believe this is the one series that got Jeff Fahey noticed.

Jeff Fahey has made over 60 movies. So check them out!
