    I saw and taped all the the Magnificent Seven TV series. It came on Friday nights right before "Nash Bridges". I was very upset when someone decided that it wasn't good enough to continue as a series. It was the only reason that I watched TV on Friday night. All the the characters were great. The writing was excellent and I do wish that it was still on TV. At least I have ALL of the series on TAPE. Chris, the quiet type, lead all of the others on a great adventure week after week. His mission was to find out why someone killed his family and burned down his house. His wife and small child was always on his mind; no matter where they was or who they was helping out. I don't remember if he (Chris) ever found out why his family had to die.

    It was a wonderful film and TV series with great chemistry between the cast and terrific character development. I enjoyed the original movie, but this one far surpasses it in the casting, you couldn't have found a better ensemble that worked so well together. Even the bit characters were well done. It was nice also to have some connection besides the original music when they put Robert Vaughn in as Judge Travis. In the original movie a viewer couldn't really connect with the characters as well as you could with the remake in 1998. The interaction between the men was much better than the original. Also this cast would work well with the same characters even if they were moved to a different time and occupation (ie: maybe an ATF team or military team) simply because of the chemistry. It should have lasted longer.

    Well, finally something interesting on TV, and it's only for two seasons. I wish it was more, because i really liked it. Ever since i first saw the movie.But still i enjoyed every minute of it, if you ever get the chance you should watch it, it's a very, very good show.

    As a dyed-in-the-wool western fan for most of my life, I was a little dubious about the series, but when it finally aired in the UK I loved it!Some of the direction in the Pilot was a little poor and haphazard, but I loved the chemistry between the seven actors, all of whom looked as though they were having a whale of a time.The subject matter has been varied, from prostitution to slavery, serial murder to religious intolerance, a welcome change from the shoot-em-up mindless tosh we have been offered previously. Coupled with well-written, witty scripts and a fabulous cast, it has been a revelation.Each of the seven is well-delineated, their characters complimenting each other; from the haunted leader to the smiling ladies'-man, the earnest healer to the acquistive gambler, the quiet, deadly sharpshooter to the brash greenhorn, and, of course, the great Ron Perlman as the penance-ridden ex-preacher, it has been a true delight.Very saddening that it only lasted two seasons - the Powers-That-Be should be ashamed of themselves.
