It would have been pitched at programme buyers and - as I said - probably hoped to get stations to buy both shows for their market. THE UNTOUCHABLES couldn't have been a cheap show to shoot so one has to wonder how could the production standards were on a first-run syndicated drama.

From memory: wasn't it a syndicated companion to DS9? And launched alongside it? I remember seeing some advertising for it in the <br />TV trade press at the time. I assume Paramount hoped that stations that purchased the new Trek show would also double-dip for another show based on a proven franchise with audience name recognition. I assume it lasted at least a season (because the stations that purchased it would have signed-up for a whole season) but it seemed to generate next-to-no buzz. Possibly because Paramount decided to concentrate on publicity around DS9 once they realised UNTOUCHABLES wasn't setting the world alight.SLOW ROBOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891511135128944714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-62686202937066801182017-04-28T11:23:03.213+01:002017-04-28T11:23:03.213+01:00FANGORIA was still being published until recently...FANGORIA was still being published until recently but it seems to have quietly expired.<br /><br /><br /><br />Slow, just wondering if you recall this show ?<br /><br /><br />I ask since the music cd has just been released :<br /><br /><br />http://buysoundtrax.stores.yahoo.net/unmufr19tese.html<br /><br /><br /><br />I've no memory of seeing this at the time but it must have taken considerable balls to follow both the original show and the movie.<br /><br /><br />some familiar faces in the cast including Michael Horse who is due to appear in the twin peaks sequel.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633073283427830809noreply@blogger.com
