Dangerous Women

I remember this show's run in syndication on KTXH-TV 20 in Houston. I thought that it was a pretty good show. It was very simply filmed, lacking in flash or glam. It was gritty and to-the-point, which may turn off television purists and academia who break down shows with a checklist.

I remember Lynn Hamilton being in this show and thinking, "How did Donna from 'Sanford and Son' end up in prison?!" A very young Tia Mowry ("Sister, Sister") made a cameo as well.

Perhaps some station will pick this show up for a second run, but I doubt it. Which is a shame.

I remember I was like in the 7th grade when this show aired in 1991. It came on UPN. It came on late and I use to stay up every Saturday and watched it. Me my parents and my sister was hooked on the show. I remember they took it off before airing any of the last episodes with the series finale. I remember the sexist pig warden Fisher. I have been trying to find this series on tape or DVD for years. I smile just thinking about it because I know the show was kind of corny but it just brings back memories when I was a young girl. It was one of those shows that you couldn't help but watch. Even though it was kind of corny it was good though. It was like a late night soap opera. I always wondered why they never brought it back on TV in syndication or something. What I remember the most is that it was show about women in prison and how even though they were all suppose to be harden criminal there was a vulnerable gentle side to all of them and most of them all had a secret.

I remember watching this all the time when I was 12 years old. I really liked it. It was one of those cheesy, soap opera-ish shows that just hooked me in with its storyline. I remember the twin redheads, Rita and Roxy. One was a prisoner and one dated one of the prison guards, Jack. I still remember that she called him "Jackhammer." I remember one episode where someone is trying to sneak one of the women out of prison and is hiding something inside of a ridiculously huge bracelet. I can still picture the prison bars slamming and the words "Dangerous Women" coming across the screen. I wouldn't mind finding the whole series on DVD and watching it for fun.

I watched this TV show regularly I was in 7th grade at the time I believe. That was my first time watching Casper Van Dien, and I have followed his TV/movie career ever since. That was my first time seeing women in jail, and I found the show interesting. It also starred Valerie Wildman, who I enjoyed as well.

Once Casper appeared I had to find out who he was, so I waited till the end of credits and wrote his name down, I am glad that I did. I certainly couldn't forget his name after that. I think Casper is a wonderful actor, I am looking forward to seeing his future movie projects.
