Renegade

This formed part of my college years throughout the mid to late 90s. I remember it well, it formed part of my epic Thursday nights after college. I would go footy training and then either see the GF or go down the pub with my mates. I would come home and put this on, I think it started at 11.30pm or even midnight. Ensleigh league footy showed followed about 1am ish.

Let's get one thing straight, this came at a time of my life when everything was great. I had no worries or stress. The biggest problem was how I would afford to go out at the weekend!

This show was fun to watch, it has some cool people in some martial arts and a cheesy storyline. What more could you want at 16/17 late on a Thursday night back in the 90's?!

The good old days.

(In deepest voice possible) "He was a cop, and good at his job, but he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops (gone bad). Cops that tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands, an outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter - a renegade".

This is cheese of the highest order - it has a native American (Bobby Six-Killer!?!) driving a Hummer, fit birds, and the main character with his Michael-Bolton-esque hair cut.

This program is much watch TV - any program set in "The Badlands" has to be seen to be believed.

Warning - DO NOT WATCH THIS PROGRAM SOBER

i've watched this programme far too often for my own good and must agree with that brit that it's atrocious. I hate lorenzo lamas and the guy that plays bobby sixkiller. the plot is paper thin and steve cannell should stick to typing on and trowing paper in end credits.

the most irritating thing about this irritating programme is the bit at the start, you know the bit, where the voice says "he was a cop and good at his job, but he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops......GONE BaaaaaD".

this must be the most hair-tearing, screen punching, vomit inducing, horror filled intro in the history of television itself. i hate this show, please hate it too.

This is one of the best series to ever come out of America. Up there with the likes of 'Law and Order', 'Quantum Leap' and 'The X-Files', this show is extremely entertaining. It has often been criticised because of its over-the-top plots however you must realise that Renegade was never meant to be taken that seriously. The show doesn't take itself seriously, all it does is give you a fast, entertaining 50 minutes of viewing pleasure. Refreshing.

This show came out when there were a lot of first run syndicated programs. I thought the writing and plots of the show were good enough to watch to week after week. Yeah, it had a couple of cheesy moments, but what do you expect from a show that doesn't have the budget of network shows? I remember them shooting in San Diego, CA. They even came to Southwestern College (a school I was attending at the time) to shoot some scenes.

Anyways, if you're an open minded person, and can overlook some "moments" and try to take in the plots of episodes, then you can enjoy this show.

If you're a big time nitpicker and that's all you do, then stay away from it and leave it alone.
