Jack of All Trades

Just finished my DVDs of this show, and it was as fun as I remembered.  Actually, as I know considerably more about the time period now, it was probably more fun.  While it's true it's "mindless entertainment" you have to have a brain to turn off in the first place to appreciate it.  It's over the top a lot of the times, but on purpose.  The main thing, though, is the dialogue and the polarly opposite leads(for me at least)  It's anachronistic, but on purpose...I've said it before, but the only way anachronisms work is if you could do it without any, and while this doesn't succeed quite on the same level as Brisco County in that regard, it succeeds quite admirably.  Very glad I reconsidered my reconsidering and got this one(was going to get it, then decided it probably wouldn't be as good as I remembered it, then decided to give it a go anyway)  So far, I have yet to be let down by a show I loved years ago(but then, I was a picky viewer...note that most of the stuff I'm into doesn't normally show on regular TV stations)
