Hawkeye

FABULOUS Hawkeye is a beautiful story that takes place in the year 1755 in Hudson Valley, New York during the time of the British & French war. The scenery is magnificent with an outstanding cast. Lee Horsley an excellent actor who presents a superior rendition of Hawkeye. A breathtakingly handsome hero with upstanding morals and great horseman.

Rodney Grant (Chingachgook) his best friend, chief of Delaware Indians. Beautiful! Lynda Carter (Elizabeth) Lots of action, adventure along with a sweet love story. Elizabeth's husband is kidnapped. Meanwhile, she takes it upon herself to run the fort and Hawkeye develops an interest in her. At times Hawkeye and Elizabeth appear to want to move forward in their relationship which is always on the up and up. Hawkeye honoring his decent moral character, always watching over her and Chingachgook and vice versa. You can't help but like his character. What a wonderful find. This was a beautifully told series and I thoroughly enjoyed every episode and wished there were more. In fact I'm re-watching and seriously thinking of purchasing the DVD's.

I had the pleasure of watching this show about five years ago.I remember it starred one of my favorite Native American actors,Rodney A. Grant.He was very good here,although not always privileged by the writers.Lee Horsley was totally unfamiliar to me before this and i was quite satisfied by his work.Stories were good and exciting and the actors didnt fail in their task,i.e. recreating the old time people and all their good and bad sides.Same can be said about the creators of the show.They managed to create a good 18th century America and nice tales.

How I missed this show at its original time of broadcast is beyond me but having discovered it now is a delicious treat,so sad there was only one season.

We looked forward to this show when it was originally broadcast. Well written, tremendous cast led by Horsley and Carter, and the cinematography was outstanding. The mixture of history, literature, humor, and memorable characters were much better than many series on TV today. We've mentioned the show to quite a few people, who never saw it, which perhaps explains why it was canceled. I remember that it was on at different times, probably syndicated, which made it hard to find. I particularly remember recommending it because it was good family fare. We were very disappointed when it was canceled. We'll keep looking for it as a DVD release.

I watched the show regularly when it was initially syndicated. It wasn't sold very well and the expectations for it apparently weren't high as in this area it was on Saturday afternoons when there wasn't a college game to televise. Maybe they thought the show would be targeted for young children but it really wasn't. The leads were very good and Lynda Carter proved to be beautiful to look at even all covered up 1700s style clothing. If you like this time period and have a chance to catch one of these episodes you should check it out. Each episode was a stand alone but like anything else if you could see it play out over a few episodes you get a better feel for the characters. I was very disappointed when it was canceled, I thought with this entertaining of a show it would find an audience but it probably was buried and not promoted in other markets as well as the local one here. Too bad.
