The Red Hand Gang theme song still runs in my mind, and I'm really pleased the gang was multiracial sort of, and had at least one female. The kids were quite intelligent being able to crack down on crime without having to engage in illegal wiretaps or poke an eye into the Bill of Rights. This series introduced me to the surname Labyorteaux. It's a tongue twister and I do associate it with Little House on the Prairie. The Red Hand Gang is ripe for a reboot, just like 21 Jump Street. I'm thinking maybe Spike Jonze can direct it and even feature stars such as Ryan Gosling, Zoe Kazan, Russell Crowe and Will Smith's son. The original cast can make cameos just like The Brady Bunch movie.
... View MoreHow strange that the few comments for this have all been from Brits. Was not as loved in America I wonder. I agree, as a now 30 something I'm in the right age bracket to have been hooked by this as a young child. Living in a Cull-DE-sac resulted in the 5 or 6 children and I forming our own gang, trying to make up our own mysteries to solve. Yes, I too got a Chopper for Christmas one year as well, how heavy were they! I remember when I was older and renting a horror film called Deadly Friend and being shocked that Matthew Lab... was in it. I wonder what the others do now? Great fun and great to see others here who remember it.
... View MoreI remember this series as the best kids adventure series ever. I loved the kidnapping episode and remember the kids rescuing that poor kid from the boat. For all those kids out there who haven't seen this, it's almost a crime, you don't know what you're missing...and maybe it's better that way. Once seen, never forgotten.
... View MoreThis series was what I was brought up on. I watched every episode. It was on in the mornings in the UK. Made me want to have a Chopper bike just like one of the kids in the show. I thought the little kid on his skateboard was ultra-cute. I remember the kidnapping episode, one with baseball cards, one where they were trapped in a basement with one of those dumb-waiter things, lots of chopper biking, that one at a marina, and I think there was one with a horse or stables. All in all, good clean child-friendly fun. Great for a 6 year old like I was. Wouldn't mind seeing it again. Can anyone let me know of any place that I can get hold of a copy to watch?
