    An Iconic series of it's time

    I was still very little when this show aired here in Europe, but even so, I still remember two shows me and my family were sort of addicted to : Sledge Hammer and Raven. Although not very alike, they were and are both icons of genius series in the 80's and 90's. I still remember the great scenery and atmosphere in Rave and the fights were exciting as ever, how else would a little guy like I was remember such a show clearly? The main characters were great developed and Raven himself had such a great mystery over him as a former member of the Black Dragons.

    As mentioned by many people here before me, it's a pity that Raven (and sledge hammer too) had such a short lifespan. And while many shows are now re-released on DVD, Raven stays in the cold for no apparent reason, at least to me. Please release this show and make us happy :(

    Didn't hold up well for me.

    I still enjoy the pilot and its a half way decent action show.But as the show went on a lot of it was very cheesy and generic.The plots for the most part were very by the number for a show like this.The writing wasn't especially creative or ground breaking.Majors seemed to be playing it a bit over the top at times.Sometimes he seemed like a competent trained side kick.Other times he came off as an eccentric old coot who i wouldn't trust anywhere near a loaded weapon.

    Also found it to be a bit misogynistic.All of the women are portrayed as either weak inept villains who are easily taken out by the lead or helpless victims who need to be saved.This would feel normal for any pre-90s TV show.But here it feels a little ridiculous and out of place.

    Great show.

    'Raven' was a great show. It had a good plot, great fight sequences, and awesome chemistry between the actors. I highly recommend it if you can find it. I am still trying to find the episodes on videotape!

    Fun Action Fusion

    The character Raven feels like a marriage between Batman and Don Johnson. Like the former, he is a vigilante crimefighter seeking justice for murdered love ones. Also, he is cultured and disciplined in martial arts and surrounding philosophies. As the latter, he happens to be a mullet-rocking glamor boy with a penchant for women and fun. It may not sound like it, but this is a very happy marriage.

    This is a lower-end action production that is uniquely inspired. Due to surprisingly tight direction, never is it a going-through-the-motions bottom shelf actioner like it would seem. It may not be strikingly original, but "Raven" is fast-paced and well-layered. It gets the job done nicely without being over the top or pretentious.

    "Raven" delivers the goods in style, outweighing the guilty in the term guilty pleasure. It knows what its audience wants (hot women, fast action, fun characters and exciting locations). It is more than deserving of a late night CBS spot, but still I don't think it got the respect and attention it deserved.

    Bring back a classic

    I loved the 90's. That was my era. Everything about it was the best; the music, the movies, the fashion, and the T.V. series. One of which was my favorite: Raven. It was so enjoyable & entertaining. The cast for this series were timeless. Jeff Meek was great, as was Lee Majors. They really had something going on with this hit. My Friends & I would all get together at another friends house to watch it. Unfortunately, It was cut short. Dropped by the network, banished from the public eye. I realize that it's probably been too long now to ask why, and the political side to the story would probably be a bit ugly. But what I would really like to know is this; why has it not made it onto DVD format yet? My plea is probably falling on deaf ears, but if someone who can make this work is listening out there.... Please bring this classic back to life. Please bring it to DVD.

    • Trivia
      This series is one of the most sought after classic shows by fans and collectors. One of the reasons why is because the short-lived series has not been syndicated since it went off the air in 1993 and was released on DVD-ROM, which were manufactured on demand for the first time on April 5, 2016.
