...like most shows it went downhill when key cast members left. As another reviewer mentioned the episodes don't match up on IMBD TV and this web site. Somehow we had only through Season 5, even though it was called Season 6 on TV. That's actually a blessing in disguise, since by the time the show wound down it had become boring.

The first few years were excelllent and the chemistry between Goldie and Frank made the show exciting. Other excellent characters who were killed off, written off or vanished were Tommy Tavita, Dave McCall, Taylor and Terry. When they were there the plots were interesting and the character balance was well rounded. I like Jack Christie, and have enjoyed Aaron Pederson in other shows, but the characters of Michael and Alex (Dee Smart) at the end lacked something to provide interest.

I dropped my overall rating from a 10 to an 8.
