I hope to catch this series some time. Perhaps on YouTube or elsewhere. I hate that I missed it on it's first go around. This is something that would have interested me in my youth. I like shows like this and Fantasy Island. Anything with a bit of intrigue and mystery/adventure.

Since I missed out on Tailspin, I never made the connection myself. As for dog fights...eh. Some chases and stuff and some small fights. You never got the feeling, at least I didn't, that the show was under budget though. At least not then. Watching it again recently, you can see where a slightly bigger budget could have helped a lot though. It really is a fun series though. Well worth a look if you haven't seen it.
And I too was a big fan of Just the Ten of Us. But I watched it in it's original run on ABC when it was part of TGIF! That was always a really fun block of programming too.

I was going to say this reminds me a lot of Talespin. But I love pulp adventures and this one seems as good as any. Was the show's budget big enough to have dogfights like the ad implies?

So this was really less of an Indiana Jones clone and more of a live action pre-cursor to Tailspin, huh? Never caught this one during my USA Network watching, but reruns of Just The Ten of Us were hard to beat!
