The Switchman

This show really is great, its like the only show with a completely new story and locations for the show every time. It all so has a great cast in every way. Its a shame that they did not make more episodes but you can always watch the old ones again

Jim Ellison, a policeman in the city of Cascade, has super senses. He can hear, see, touch, smell to such a high degree that he can help solve seemingly unsolvable crimes. Blair Sandburg, a college student majoring in anthropology, is the guide who helps Jim Ellison control his super senses. Together, these two men help fight crime in Cascade.

This is a really fun action show! The actors are all very good and the writers for this show really know how to hook a viewer's attention in the first five minutes of the show. All the episodes are very well plotted and very exciting. What is a real shame is that one can see that this show had the potential to be even more. I wish there was more mysticism and more magic in this show. But other than that, it's a great hour of TV.

Richard Burgi is gorgeous and a great talent. I hope he makes it on the big screen one day.

I give this great show a "B++".

In my opinion, this is THE BEST show ever. Richard Burgi, Garett Maggart, and Bruce A. Young are terrific actors! Watch an episode if you haven't already, and you'll see that it's worth it. Now if only UPN would see that it's worth it.

I really, really love this show. I don't think I have enjoyed a show this much since "Quantum Leap". This is one of those rare drop whatever you're doing, lock yourself up in your room, "shut-up-and-don't-bother-me" type of shows. It has everything you watch television for: action, drama, humor, personality, good stories, plus the one thing missing from most television-ORIGINALITY! I cannot think of another show that was ever like this one. It also has characters that you can really care about (which, if you examine it, you'll find is the deciding factor in most of the shows that are historically considered really great television). Richard Burgi, Garett Maggart and Bruce A. Young are the stars of this show and I feel that this is the best television work so far in their careers.

For anyone who thought that science fiction and cop shows could not be effectively combined, think again. While the X-Files deals with the unreal, The Sentinel deals with real life crimes. It is funny and clever, with many of the qualities that made Superman a hit. Richard Burgi is strong as the Superman character, not always sure of his powers, but a tough guy with a strong heart. Bruce A. Young as Perry White, the bark worse then his bite commander. But the best part of all is scene stealer Garrett Magartt as the combo of perpetual victim Lois Lane and on the fringes Jimmy Olsen. Four stars!
