I hear that, kinda like how the schmucks at CBS bumped and dumped The Equalizer, another impeccably-cast noir-ish series.

-just-makes-me-angry :rage: any show that ever hits the airwaves that shows any kind of intelligence (like Raines) gets the sack. I swear I wish the networks would give audiences a little more credit than that. We aren't all reality-tv junkie morons without enough intelligence to understand wit, sarcasm and dry humor.....:rage:
ok...off rant....down girl....

I, too, am/was a fan of Raines and The Equalizer. Also The Dresden Files, which I just purcased on DVD.

Equalizer was from the 80s, wasn't it? White haired british guy, short, black gloves, gun, older, total gentleman? Great show!

Very memorable theme song too!

Yep, Edward Woodward as what a retired 007 would be like: old, bitter, hacked-off and guilt-ridden, but still trying to right the world's wrongs. The Robert McCall character is pretty much my idea of the standard for "professional", without crossing the line into "inhuman" anyway...

Edward Woodward is excellent in any role.

I particularly liked him in Breaker Morant as an Australian Officer serving with the British during the Boer War in South Africa. Two other excellent Austarlian actors in this film are Bryan Brown and Jack Thompson.

There are VHS tapes and at least one 4-tape VHS set of The Equalizer for sale on Amazon. The 4-tape set is pricey at just under $250.00.
