Hawkeye

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.

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.

This show had very good historical content and was excellently written and performed by a great cast, Lee Horsley and the lovely Linda Carter with a wonderful supporting cast of characters.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.

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.

Outstanding show,Stephen J Cannell producer,excellent story telling,good moral principles.Also had a great cast Lee Horsley,Linda Carter,Rodney A Grant, Garwin Stanford .This show must of had virtually no promotion.Just a shame there where not more seasons.
