The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Vaguely remembered "Harry O" from "back in the day" yet there was something that stuck--why is that? Zerbe's grudging friendship as Lt. Trench was superb of course, he deserved the Emmy (as did Henry Darrow, portraying Lt. Manny Quinlan, who never got it.) Janssen deserved an Emmy more, as leading actor. Harry's character provides the solitary clue to great screen writing: we CARED about the character. Why? So simple, yet so difficult to achieve. The fact he had a bullet near his spine was part of the appeal, but also the fact that he was always hopping on a bus (unheard of in LA/San Diego), he lived on the beach, etc. These details implied a hidden depth and tragic sense to Harry that was very appealing. The voiceovers (narration a la Raymond Chandler) added to the effect and to the appeal. WB can MAKE MONEY doing DVDs of this short-lived series. They will make more than the issue of the series costs them. THAT BEING THE (OBVIOUS) CASE, WHAT IS THE HOLD-UP? (if you'll pardon the expression)

Harry O is being rerun on cable channel Good Life on Monday nights at 8:00pm and again at 11:00pm. They are still doing the Lt. Quinlan days. This is as of November 29, 2005. Harr O was a great show (actually, still is). It was David Janssen at his best. His rapport with Anthony Zerbe as Lt. Trench is wonderful. Les Lannom had David/Harry down to a "T". Question: Did Harry ever wear anything other than the tweed sport coat, blue button down shirt, dark tie, and khaki pants - or - the shorts and jacket? And yes, a DVD of the show would be great! The show always had the cream of the crop guest stars from the 70's. Many of the younger ones became stars in their on right. What ever happened to Les "Lester" Lannom and Paul Tulley as Sgt. Roberts?

My wife and I watched the show when it first went into syndication. 78-79? We both enjoyed it. I particularly liked the way David Jansen portrayed this character. Smooth and cool. David's smirk really worked portraying Harry. Very low key approach that works. Farrah Fawcett was very low key and actually funny in her roll. Another gem in the show was Anthony Zerbe. The verbal barbs and sparring with 'Harry' were excellent. The original fugitive series was pretty good but over time the plots grew weak and the show seemed to crawl along. I check every now and then to see if 'Harry O' is available anywhere EVEN on VHS! great show!

This was one of the best shows on television. The writing and the photography was outstanding. David Janssen was one of my very favorite actors and I really miss him. He had "mumbling" down to an art form and his understated style of acting was second to none. Harry-O made me feel good every time I would sit down and watch. Harry Orwell was an everyman's type of guy. You could relate to him. I think it was because you could sense his vulnerability. Episodes did not always end on a happy note and that added some credibility to the character and his profession. Warner Brothers needs to hurry up and release this series to DVD. I would buy the entire series in a heart beat. A classic!!
