Oh!  Finally!

Michael Praed as Robin Hood, Clannad doing the mood music, and lots of running around in the woods.  Long been waiting for this series to come out on disc.  I watching it on public television as a kid -- back when I had to hold the antenna so the reception would be just clear enough to watch.  Then it came out in the UK and I struggled to download a few episodes since nobody watches this show enough to rip the discs.

The show went to shit after the first season when Sean Connery's son Jason took over the Robin Hood role, but the Praed year was endless fun.

Wow... I came here to say that I had forgotten how bad this show was after Praed left, but it looks like I've always known.

Finally getting around to season two and, dear god.  I remember correctly.  Jason Connery is like everything that was bad about Legolas wrapped up in a pale package of lowland Scottish candy ass crybaby.

Amusingly, the main guy from the current Robin Hood series on the Beeb (which is vaguely terrible) has left, so they're doing the same thing i their upcoming season.  Except without the antlered spirit guide.

Holy shit... Matt Frewer guest starred on this show!  And his sad attempt at an English accent makes me want to pull out one of my eyes.
