This show was awesome! I hope the whole series is released on DVD sometime soon because I would LOVE to add this to my collection. This show had great episodes and I'd love to enjoy them over and over on dvd.
Peace. Johnny C.

This show never jumped.

I didn't like the way they wrote Jim out of the script, but the original format called for Will (or a guy his age) to be the central character, not Jim, and since Jim didn't go over too well with the audience a change was in the wind.

When they dumped the original premise- sort of. They dumped the boy and the friendship between Swamp Thing and the boy had been the pivotal thing about the show. Then they brought in Kari Wuhrer and a male model/ centerfold to go with her female model/ centerfold. I guess they decided that turning it into Baywatch and forgetting all about Swamp Thing was the way to go. Then again, the best episode was "Spirit of the Swamp" where Roscoe Lee Browne played the Voodoo priest DuChamp. That was, I think, the third episode. Not good when a show's best episode takes place right at the start and nothing ever matches it.

JTS when they tried to make a bad movie into a good TV show. TV guys didn't seem to know that the only reason people watched the piece of $hit movie in the first place was a scantily clad Adrienne Barbeau.

I detested this show! The whole point of the show was that the villain was evil inside a handsome exterior and the hideous-looking title character was an object of handwringing pity- when he wasn't growling and beating up intruders. However; the real pity party should have been thrown for the audience who had to sit through this mawkish mess with the very same barebones plot repeated ad nauseum ( with USA Network hyping it as though it was on an equal footing with 'Twilight Zone'). And that girl was too annoying! She was always crying, screaming or on the verge of both at all times. She'd be the last person I'd want to take along on a hike. I'd even take Ralph and Wendy Whiner (from 'Saturday Night Live') before I'd take her along!
