Episode 10 - Season One: West Coast Turnaround (1983)
The gang is called in to action when a former Vietnam veteran now trying to succeed as a watermelon farmer is being pushed into the ground by a bunch of nasty thugs who wants to exploit his business and take over.
Another episode I remember fondly from being a little kid, and while not the best one around it sure is a fun filled one.
Murdock drives B.A. crazy with his new dog, Billy and poor Amy gets her car re-arranged into something out of a Max Mad post-apocalyptic b-movie in order to unleash a little bit of trouble upon the baddies.
Some really cool action scenes and fights unfold but the story is maybe not the most solid one, however nostalgia seems to get the better of me this time around.
7/10
Episode 11 - Season One: One More Time (1983)
This episode had a bit of what to come in the later and final seasons, as the gang after a very explosive and dramatic opener is being captured by Colonel Lynch and put in jail, only to see them forced to take on a riskful mission to save a former Vietnam veteran from a ruthless guerilla group who are operating at some small island in the Borneo. Murdock and Amy must then follow closely but safely behind, and try to find a way of rescuing their friends.
This one started up very promisingly, but soon turned into a little bit of a hasty or rushed episode which could have fared better if it had been a two hour episode instead of just one. Some great action and stunt scenes along with a memorable rescue attempt but the story and villains where mostly forgettable and I end up with a:
6/10
