Featured in "Countdown to DECADES" on Decades TV network. Each Full episode runs in order.

Yes, and I'm amazed and delighted at how good it is. The prodution values are as good as the writing. I'm sorry to have caught it late in its Decades run, wonder when (if?) they'll start running shows regularly, alternating one with the other, rather than airing them in bunches like they're doing bow.

Thanks. Been watching it for a couple of days. It still holds up very well.

I have been amused by something though. I often criticized shows like Three's Company for their simple formula (Jack lies, Jack gets caught)

But the Decades TV promo for this show provides the simple formula for this show. Caine's journey, where he evades the law and protects the innocent

That's pretty much every episode in a nutshell. Add a few details like him getting shot or wounded in many, many episodes, and I am starting to wonder why the writers didn't spend a little more time exploring other ideas, as they did on incorporating the wonderful philosophical ideas they put into the show.

Regardless, I still love the show and would love to see something like it these days. Really a must have DVD series. A true classic.
