Más allá de la ley

I loved the series, however, short lived. I to this day can't figure out why people didn't watch it. I guess at the time people wasn't interested in westerns. I loved Patrick Houser. I wonder what he's doing now, haven't seen him in anything.

This was one of those great shows that burned like a shooting star. I really enjoyed it especially for the fact that it combined three different genres; westerns, detective shows and science fiction. All the characters really stood out especially Charles Napier as the eccentric Wolf. Too bad this show didn't stay on long enough to catch on. This was a really good show.

Outlaws was a mid-season replacement, and those shows are often hard for people to find, especially when the premier comes between Christmas and New Years Day. Outlaws was shown on the Sunday before New Years, and it aired opposite For Your Eyes Only on one network and The Sound of Music on another.

We watched it, but it only got about a 12.5 share, and that wasn't going to be enough to build an audience throughout the winter and spring.

The premise itself was interesting, having an accident of nature propel a marshall and four outlaws, whom he formerly rode with, into 1986 Houston. The fantasy of real Old West gunslingers adapting to modern times, and modern times to them, played well.

The big draw for us? Rod Taylor ... always great, and the rest of the cast, including Richard Roundtree, just added flavor.

I lived in Houston, Texas and since this show was based in Houston, I decided to watch it. I enjoyed it therefore I knew it would be canceled. I though the writing and acting were excellent. I was sad when it wasn't renewed for a second season. Sadly since they only made 13 episodes it probably won't be rerun, unless there is a Western Cable Channel that I don't know about. If you do see it in your local listings, watch it. It's a hoot.

Yeah, I saw it. I remember it as being quirky and unusual. It's a slick joke including Rod Taylor in the cast of time travelers, and the Lieutenant was one tough hombre herself. I even recall one memorable scene when the cowboys just take their time and shoot down these guys with Uzis. The commentary suggested that you had to aim first before shooting. Very enjoyable.
