I had not seen this show since it originally aired, 40 years ago. It wasn't a favorite show of mine, but I watched it from time to time, and I recall it being mildly entertaining, though it seemed to me a sort of one-joke premise about the suit. Recently I bought the dvd set, and tonight I started to watch the pilot episode.
SPOILER ALERT! Wow, what a big disappointment! In the first two minutes of this TV-movie length pilot, a gang of White skinheads, both men and women, carrying automatic weapons, chase a Black guy, with both the skinheads and the Black guy driving all-terrain, dune-buggy type vehicles at high speed. The skinheads corner the Black guy, who pleads for mercy. A male skinhead starts talking about Jesus, and a female skinhead starts singing a famous hymn. I figured the Black guy was about the get killed, and I was utterly disgusted by what I was seeing, so I turned it off, and I just threw away the dvd set.
I felt like the screenwriter was showing a very negative view of Christians, by the people he chose for the villains. It was a huge turn-off for me. So, that's the end of my watching any of this series. It was never all that good, anyway.
