L'ultimo dei mohicani

This show had very good historical content and was excellently written and performed by a great cast, Lee Horsley and the lovely Linda Carter with a wonderful supporting cast of characters. It showed good family and American values and I really enjoyed watching it. It reflected the integrity, moral values, and self respect our forefathers held and I was sad when it was not continued. It only ran one season, but, the characters were well developed by the end of that season and it was a show that could be enjoyed by everyone. The show was great as it was and I would love to see the show come out on DVD for I would surely LOVE to watch it again.

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.

My wife purchased this series on DVD recently for our bed-time 'belly-telly' viewing. We've enjoyed it immensely - only to discover there was only 1 season's worth. What a great disappointment. It was one of the best-done series ever. Great cast, good stories, well told! Lee Horsley and Lynda Carter had good chemistry - as well as the rest of the acting crew. Rodney Grant as Chingachgook was a delightful surprise, as well as Garwin Sanford (stiff upper-lip Capt. Taylor Shields). Maybe the viewing-time was off-center, or the timing of such a series was competing against, yet another, TV falderal. Still, it was a really wonderful series. Sandie and I would give a load of beaver skins to see that series revived! ~Bob & Sandie Shank, Tucson AZ

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.

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.
