Max Baer who played Jethro Bodine on the Beverly Hillbillies was also in an episode of Matt Huston he was his Buddy from Vietnam, a Chopper Pilot. So the answer is Yeehaw meet you by the cement pond.
It seems like every guy on tv who has a 'stache' on his upper lip is 1)makes great tv and 2) getting laid pretty often. I got my flavor saver growing as of now! Great show btw!!!
I'm not usually much into "P.I" shows but I did like this one, I thank it was Pamela because she wasArdala in Buck Rogers but I liked this better than Magnum P.I or other "P.I.s"
You would think TV land would show old like Matt Houston, Fall Guy, TJ Hooker, Manix, Barreta, Vegas, Rockford Files. I guess the world needs to see four hours of Roseanne
@BigVilFromWestPhil Exactly. When TV Land first started out it was showing old shows like that. But now it changed and sold out. Emergency, Starsky & Hutch, Hill Street Blues, Rockford Files, Chips. Now it's like you said. 4 hours of Roseanne, the nanny, and that stupid Raymond show.
The late Lincoln Kilpatrick played on the sci fi movie The Omega Man with the late Charlton Heston as Zachary one of the mutants. Lincoln's son Lincoln Jr. played an epsiode on Sanford and Son as Jason the runaway kid, and did a episode on Good Times as the leader of the Jr. Warlords who forced Michael to join.
Its like this, the Matt Houston show would be the Airwolf equivalent and Magnum P.I. would be Blue Thunder. Matt Houston would be the Transformers and Magnum P.I. would be the GoBots.
I loved this show as well. It premiered on channel 45 here in phx, az. chanel 45 was brand new and had shows like hunter and tj hooker. the station was later bought by paramount studios making it upn 45. (United Paramount Network) Now thats gone and its just MyNetwork45. sorry to ramble, it just brought back memories.
I had almost forgot about this show. I saw on deep discount site that the first season is on sale of this show. I came to youtube to see if there were any trailers, and this one here brings back some memories of my childhood. What triggered it was the red Mercedes. It is starting to come back to me a little bit now. LOL! Buddy E is in the show.
Matt Houston was a great show, used to watch it every Sunday night. But it is disturbing to see Buddy Ebsen firing an Uzi - what would Ellie May and Jethro say?
@retro- Yeah, I lot of ppl accused the producers of ripping off Magnum's concept with this show. But he (Lee Horsley) had a little more of a redneck appeal to his persona. Also, my dad loved Magnum and Simon & Simon shows with a passion.
Lee Horsley sure did along with the fact that Houston outclassed Magnum big time when it came to their private detective lifestyles since Magnum lived on a shoestring budget while Houston lived high on the hog in a swanky penthouse living the luxurious life Magnum envied & wished he could've had.
this looks like a badass show. maybe i'll have to purchase this and check it out for myself. saw the commercial today and heard it was a texan show so i had to check it out haha
I saw only 1 episode from this series on TNN. He jumped out of a window and landed on his head, and at the end, I think he took some black kid to Disneyland.
@jamessmedley82 Lee isn't dead he just hasn't done a lot of acting-from what I found out he does a lot of outdoorsman and rodeo type stuff. Plus he is a avid hunter. I will see what else I can find out. I loved this show too-how cool is it to be a wealthy detective always catching the bad guy and having hot women around?
I never followed this show. I was born in '82, so the only way I can find out about 80s TV series is by watching ancient video cassettes, and Houston isn't one of them. I watch A-Team, Trauma Centre, Riptide and stuff like that.
Easy Brother! I remember (I am so old-42) anyway yeah it was a good show-better than most people gave it credit. It may be on dvd soon-you should check it out if you like 80s shows.
Yeah, thought so. I think he was also in Ironside, or perhaps Perry mason. Well, he was alongside Raymond Burr in something. Oh well, time to trawl thru' IMDb, I guess.
he didn't die lol... He is the host of a hunting show, and has been writing western novels for years, he did not do a ton of acting after the mid 80s. He looks completely different now, if you ever see the show Benelli's Dream Hunts, yes that's him..
You notice the lettering in the opening credits is the same as in Pulp Fiction? This makes me laugh because I live in Houston. Also a guy in high school used to brag that he had a "Matt Houston" haircut!! He's bald now! LOL
Is it me or did that intro run on for what seemed like forever? After a minute you think ok its over by the music... but then it takes a "one more time for good luck" approach..haha!
I was so damn jelouse of Lee Horsley back then, He was my idol. I can remember wanting to buy a 280ZX and a black members only jacket and drive to school thinking I was him.
This themesong reminds me of being in bed in the early 80's...because It came on late and I'd be in bed but still wide awake and I could hear the TV coming from my parents room and they'd be up watching this show.
Why was Buddy Ebsen added to the show later? You think they would bring in someone young and hot. I guess Ebsen was still an icon then, having done "Barnaby Jones" and "Beverly Hillbilles". I guess they thought he would increase the ratings??
Pamela was awesome, not the usual damzal in distress charachter,loved her. I think when they brought on Buddy Ebsen that put her on the back burner way to much and the writers ruined the show by doing that. The chemistry/dynamic between Matt and Cj was wonderful, they need to bring it back.
I remember there was another opening sequence where the camera started at his boots and went up. Some wag at the time said this was "the longest crotch shot on TV".
One things I remember about this show was the number of times Matt was "near death" from a gun shot or stab wound. Which to me made his character more real than other shows that the star/hero does get injured.
You need your head examined if you think that. Matt Houston was a blatant rip-off of Magnum. It had no emotional depth, Houston was a rich playboy with no flaws, and too much free time on his hands! At least Magnum had a military background, which made the character more believable, where Houston was just a rich guy who fancied trying to solve crimes. Tell me, which one sounds moe realistic to you?
Ah a rush on the memories, and I had forgotten Buddy Ebsen was on this. Oh well, better watch out for Granny and her vittles! haha, Loved the show, I don't care if it was a ripoff.
I might be wrong but Magnum orif=ginally was a millionaire living in LA who solved crimes just like Matt Houston but Selleck fought to make it more believable as a guy living in a Millionaires house. Once again I think thats what happened . Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Houston was a cool show anyway, but Magnum was the best show of the 80's.
True. But like Stephanie it did give Matt the confidence and protection he needed to chase crooks on Roller-skates and horseback .
He felt fresh and dry all season and thanks to the discreet floral packaging which was mistaken for a box of Benson and Hedges he managed to Pack so much action in the one show.
Was that guy really that young? I always thought he was like 40 back then but he was 27 when the show started. At least that's what I read. Apart from that, Pamela Hensley was hot and Barnaby Jones how old was he? like 80?
Lee Horsley is going to reprise his role of Talon in the sequel to "The Sword and the Sorcerer." They're finally going to make the sequel that was promised at the end of the 1982 movie.
In this one, he's going to be passing the torch to Kevin Sorbo's character. If you check IMDB, they have some still shots of a much older King Talon. Lee Horsley rules!!!
General observation: it's intriguing and a little bewildering at the length of the intro to shows like Matt Houston, and most crime dramas from the 70's and 80's. Some of them run well over a minute -- by today's standards they seem endless. It's actually a terrible waste of limited TV time -- think about it, a show with 40 minutes of non-advertising story time, and 1-1/2 mins. wasted on music and credits every week. Compare today's show with nearly non-existent intros. I prefer that approach.
yeah but the theme music is what makes the good shows memorable, they kinda set the tone of the show...some theme music was like 30 seconds long but the quality of the composition and writting was so good that it lasted a lifetime.even today those themes cant be touched.
This is probably a dumb question, but if this show is not yet out on DVD, where did this clip come from? IIRC, Matt Houston broadcast well before VCR's were commonplace.
Oh man i loved this show when they used to air it on TNN now its Spike TV i miss it! I mean i was really young when it came out but i enjoyed it in re-runs i wish they would air it again somewhere.
Oh man, that luscious Pamela Hensley. She was also in the movie "Rollerball" and "Buck Rogers in the 23rd Century". And what a long title--some shows like "Lost" don't even have titles.

Some of them run well over a minute -- by today's standards they seem endless. It's actually a terrible waste of limited TV time -- think about it, a show with 40 minutes of non-advertising story time, and 1-1/2 mins. wasted on music and credits every week. Compare today's show with nearly non-existent intros. I prefer that approach.

yeah but the theme music is what makes the good shows memorable, they kinda set the tone of the show...some theme music was like 30 seconds long but the quality of the composition and writting was so good that it lasted a lifetime.even today those themes cant be touched.

Lee H. was hot, but he had that helmet-hair perm going on. He could have been a Brady.

Matt Houston's still not out on DVD. I wonder why?
My aunt feels Matt Houston wasn't good enough to be released on DVD, but I disagree with her.
Many old TV shows from the '60's-'80's, including Matt Houston, were totally awesome.

This is probably a dumb question, but if this show is not yet out on DVD, where did this clip come from? IIRC, Matt Houston broadcast well before VCR's were commonplace.
sjplwc 3 years ago
A few VHS players were out in the early '80's along with several beta recorders.
I'm sure thousands of folks recorded Matt Houston episodes back then.

Matt Houston was a poor's man version of Magnum P.I.

Yup, and ironically, Matt Houston was the millionaire and Magnum was poor (well, not a millionaire anyway!)
MaffMoose 3 years ago
Well that maybe so; but why Houston rockin 1979 red Mercedes compare to Magnum's Ferrari which was way more expensive during the early 80's
worley75 3 years ago
True, but Houston owned all his cars and Magnum had to drive a car owned by Higgins!

Wasn't Matt Houston who Tom Berringer's character in "The Big Chill" was patterned after?

Oh man, that luscious Pamela Hensley. She was also in the movie "Rollerball" and "Buck Rogers in the 23rd Century". And what a long title--some shows like "Lost" don't even have titles.
