The Marshal

My comment is this..... from the first time I saw Jeff Fahey I knew that I would never be disappointed. He has talent above all others. Every episode of The Marshall was what I looked forward to every time it aired. I know that was years ago but I remember each of them like they were actually part of my life , you know like yesterday. I wish I could watch them over and over but I don't have that luxury. If anyone has any suggestions on where I could get access to any of "The Marshall" shows even just to watch them on line I would greatly appreciative and ever so grateful.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am Jeff Fahey's #1 FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I happen to agree that taking the Marshall of the air was a shame. Jeff Fahey is one of my favorite actors and it was nice to see him on TV week after week. They deprived a lot of us Jeff fans when they cancelled the Marshall and I think the least they could do is put the series out on DVDs like so many other shows that are now coming out. Many of us Jeff fan keeps asking "Where can we get the Marshall on DVD?" and so far the answer is "No where." Please, if you agree with me that the Marshall should be out on DVD help me send out the call to get this done! Don't let a good show die off completely. Resurrect it on DVD so we can once again enjoy it as we did when it was on every week.

This show ran for one season and a bit, and was obviously inspired by the U.S. Marshals in The Fugitive (1993), although Fahey's character is nothing like Tommy Lee Jones'.

The first season was billed as an action show, but actually featured complex plots and required the viewer think. As you can imagine, network suits put a stop to THAT, and the show was dumbed way down for season 2, then cancelled.

It's too bad; Fahey is a certain type of actor (along with, say, Bill Campbell)-- the kind who labours in B-movie hell, but every once in a while gets a miracle shot to prove what he or she can do, and STILL can't catch a break.

I was truly upset when it was not continued after it's first season. Not only were the characters believable, but it did not rely on the usual "hero" stuff for it's lead. Marshall McBride (played by Jeff Fahey)didn't get involved with every female lead. Instead, he always went home to his wife and girls and took solace in his home life (truly unusual for most Hollywood crap). I LOVED it!!

If they ever decided to bring it back, they would have an immediate fan and if they decided to give it half a chance, the fan base would grow.

I don't think very many people got the chance to see it - in my area it was on at odd hours (2pm on a Saturday afternoon and it was not always on at the same time). A little consistency would go a LONG way to make this show a success should some brilliant producer ever decided to try again

Wonderful show . Best show ABC had , too bad they were to stupid to see it. Maybe they'll get a conscious and put it on DVD for us loyal fans.
