Does anybody remeber a show called "Cobra" starring Michael Dudikoff? I loved that show. I still don't understand why it didn't last longer. Here's the premise if you never seen it:
PREMISE
Robert "Scandal" Jackson, Jr., is a former Navy SEAL who went A.W.O.L. after refusing to blow up a command center behind enemy lines housing civilians. He disappeared to the wilderness of Alaska, changing his name and appearance, and becoming a teacher to the children of a small Inuit community. But a part of his past soon caught up to him and he was shot in the face, his comatose body left for dead. He awoke in the hospital three weeks later and found himself with a new face and a new chance at life, thanks to a woman named Danielle LaPoint.
Danielle offered him a job with Cobra, an undercover agency that provides justice for victims who haven't benefited from the system. Scandal is reluctant to leave his Alaskan life behind, but then her boss, Dallas Cassell, makes him an offer he can't refuse: the chance to catch the man who murdered his father five years earlier. Driving around in his classic A/C Cobra, Scandal dispenses justice his way in the fictional Bay City, California.
Starring Michael Dudikoff (American Ninja), Allison J. Hossack, and James Tolkan (Back to the Future), Cobra was created by legendary television producer Stephen J. Cannell, along with Steven Long Mitchell and Craig W. Van Sickle (both of whom later went on to create/executive produce The Pretender for NBC), and was filmed on location in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
THE CHARACTERS
Robert "Scandal" Jackson, Jr.: A martial artist, an expert marksman, an ex-Navy SEAL, and a former investigator for NSI, Scandal is perfectly suited to be Cobra's lead field operative. The only part of his past that remains is his vintage Cobra, which he helped his father restore when he was younger. He's also developed an attraction for Danielle LaPoint, but he doesn't let it get in the way of doing his job.
Danielle LaPoint: The niece of Cobra's founder, Quentin Avery, Danielle is more or less Scandal's partner. Her mother was killed ten years earlier, and as a result she turned to helping victims like herself by working for Cobra. She holds a Ph.D from Harvard University and was personally responsible for recruiting Scandal after arguing with her uncle that he was the perfect choice.
Dallas Cassel: A former F.B.I. agent, Dallas is the director of Cobra. He almost got off on the wrong foot with Scandal when he faked Scandal's death in order to secure him an honorable discharge from the Navy, but Scandal ultimately realized the faking was for the best.
Awesome or what? What did you think of it if you saw it? also does anyone know where you might be able to get some of the shows on VHS, or even better DVD?
