Random Useless Memory: Hart To Hart
This is my boss, Jonathon Hart, a self-made millionaire. He's quite a guy. This is Mrs. H, she's gorgeous. She's one lady that could take care of herself. By the way, my name is Max. I take care of both of them. It ain't easy for when they met it was MURDER.
I know it is probably sad and pathetic that I remember this, but bear with me, mates. During the 80s, in Guyana, hearing these words blaring from someone's telly was enough to send me racing at breakneck speed through the streets from my afterschool lessons to catch another exciting episode of Hart To Hart. Folks this was great television. A rich, philantrophic couple that were always stumbling unto those involved with evil misdeeds and conspiracies. And every episode was engaging ... never a dull moment. Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers were perfect for this series. Which brings me to the other reason why a lot of us watched Hart To Hart: Stephanie Powers. Now even though we were teens, at the time, and Ms. Powers as clearly an older woman (in her thirties) this factor did very little in its attempt to abort the raging pubescent droolfest. Sometimes during those dull days school, my mates would play that famous game of "would you". Every male person, at sometime has played this game, just with a different name. Without going into the full, lurid details about "would you", let's just say that Stephanie Powers, Kelly LeBrock, Sheena Easton, Kim Fields, and Vanity made many virtual guest appearances in that game. Sorry, we didn't have Myspace or the Web back then. Thank heaven for little mercies.
The last time I saw Stephanie Powers on the telly was several years ago, and I must admit that the woman's still got it. Now there were rumours of a Hart To Hart reunion special that possibly ended with the death of one of the characters. I don't how true this is, and if it does exist then I'm proper happy to have missed it. Could you imagine Hart To Hart without Robert Wagner, or Stephanie Powers and that cute way she'd say "oh Jonaaathon". That's just sacrilege. Plain and simple. Folks have been put before firing squads for lesser.

Cute story. btw there were several H2H reunion movies, all of which starred Mr Wagner and Ms Powers. And yes, she still had "it". :)
I used to love watching that show too. And yes, she was a hottie...a lot hotter than Robert Wagner. :)
Oh, I remember Hart to Hart. Good stuff.
I remember it was around the time Natalie Wood passed (Bob Wagner's wife for those that don't know) and there was always a theory that she was knocked off that boat on purpose so Wagner could be with Stefanie Powers. hehehehehehe who knows? They did have really, really good chemistry on the show.
But anyway, yeah, good TV and Robert Wagner in a tux, whoo hooooo! :)

A jolly HELLO to new visitors, Nancala, Mrs. Skeffington and anonymous. Sorry if I seem a bit distant at times. I've got a lot happening on my end ... workwise. But I really, really appreciate you all for dropping by.
Today's detective shows? Forensic thing, forensic that, lots of close ups of bloody bodies. Though I do loooove David Caruso's voice!!
I miss the old, ollllld detective shows we used to have on tv here in the early 90's - Poirot, Agatha Christie...must be the atmosphere and rain and teas and stuff like that.
