________________________________

There doesn't seem to be any videos of this series, but the premise is VERY interesting! Wikipedia's short description reads like this.
________________________________

The movie and subsequent series follow the adventures of "The Highwayman", one of a mysterious group, presumably of U.S. Marshals, conducting crime-fighting missions and solving bizarre mysteries. Each Highwayman in this group is equipped with a high-tech, multi-function truck.
________________________________

Yes, one of the cool things about this series is the hi-tech 18 wheeler with a built-in helicopter whose cockpit is also the cab of the truck!

If that idea doesn't make your toes tingle, I might suggest that All Sci-Fi is NOT the right message board for you. Sad

However, before you leave us, I should mention that the star of this series was Sam Jones, the hero of Flash Gordon (1980).

If you're still wondering if you're in the right place, I'll remind you that this series also starred Jane Badler, the sexy alien lady from the series, V.





And just to seal the deal, the cast also includes Mr. Tuvok from Star Trek: Voyager — Tim Russ.

I would really like to see episodes of this series. Cool

The only episode I could find on YouTube was dubbed into French, and not of a very high video quality - Jane Badler looked good in the opening credits, though! The Tim Russ character was called "D.C. Montana" - no relation to Star Trek's writer and story editor D.C. Fontana...?

Well, I'll just be damned . . . Confused

I just finished watching the pilot episode of The Highwayman, and I was pleasantly surprised! Cool

The first hour was not overly impressive — but as the plot unfolded, I gradually realized that the story was jam-packed with great ideas!

The last twenty minutes exploded with jaw-dropping delights. If the regular episodes were as good as this pilot, this series should have run for several seasons!

Give it a try, fellows! You won't regret it. Very Happy

Unfortunately, the picture quality of the actual episodes is hideous, so you probably won't want to endure them after watching the pilot.

What a pity . . .

Perhaps hi-quality downloads and DVDs of this series will be offered someday. I think it deserves it. Sad
