This show had all the elements of the other shows of the time. It just did'nt stand out. Actually it was boring when you think about it. It was no Magnum for sure.
This was a great show. I thought the car was awesome too, but when I just saw it again for the first time in who knows how long it made me laugh. Ahh, the 80's.
Nice work. Click on my channel to see my 80's nostalgic collections; "80's TV Show Openings", "80's Saturday Morning Cartoons", "80's WWF Wrestling" and a "John Hughes Tribute".
What kind of car was that, a Lancia Stratos?? My friend in college had a kit car like this sitting on a VW bug chassis!!! It always turns heads and its 12-15 yrs old!!
@ilovethejoy The entire series has been released on DVD. They only came out to stores in Canada- but they will work on DVD players in the United States. So Americans can buy them as well- but it would have to be done online. I have all three seasons and have seen every single episode as a result. I read on a website that all episodes have been released as a complete series package. If you live in either the United States or Canada- you are in luck and can have the whole series in your home.
@adrianqx, just checked but it was Hardcastle (Brian Keith) who took his own life! Real sad, but still got fond memories of watching this show as a kid on Sunday evenings after my bath! haha (in the UK!)
I'm watching this when i was a kid.I'm only wondering,does Coyote X mass produced in d market like 1982 Pontiac Firebird(a.k.a. KITT) in d '80s?Or just an exclusive prototype car for d series? :-/
Hollywood is running out of ideas to making movies.and making remakes of tv episodes and old movies are thier specialty.why not remake this tv show and make it a movie on the big screen?
Mike Post and Pete Carpenter are to 80's tv theme songs like Ronnie James Dio and James Hetfield are to Heavy metal. Without them,we'd still have the show,but not the enjoyment.
God I miss it when tv shows had great theme songs.Back when you cared about watching the intro just as much as you did the show! But now you're lucky if you get a ten second intro for a show.Now a days stations don't want to waste a second that they could fill with a stupid commercial!
Mkay i dont wanna upset any CSI Fans out there but id rather watch a season of shows like This than an episode of half the shows on Tv Today, Cant remember the last Modern Cop show i liked they just arent entertaining
sitting around with my family watching this, Hart To Hart Vegas with Robert Ulrich or the Invaders with a glass of milk a slice of cake and a warm fire roaring
the down fall of shows like these and a hell of a lot of things falls down to a group I like to call busy body Soccer Moms and Pinko Fags with nothing better to do then stick there nose where is doesn't belong Like Tv and Fast food but hey maybe they will be happy when everything we eat is Tofu and All Tv shows star mega Bitches like Joy Bayheart and Sarah Suck My Cock Palin
@SKYKOP74 The Coyote X was a concept car for the show. They were based on the European Manta Montage or Mclaren (I think). The Coyote X never saw production in real life. Obviously the interior shots of the car showing the gate gear lever and the prancing horse dials were shot inside a Ferrari.
no more good shows like the old days we have Mam be pamby actors and writers .All the old shows Had Heros now even look at walker he is gone too we dont want to step on toes .But all the 60 70 80 are all good looking heros with all had ACTION
@paktype hey dude tired of reality crap? Watch HBO, FX and SHOWTIME. They have quality shows. Or MOST IMPORTANTLY, BUY DVDs of old shows. Do ya agree, paktype?
I always thought Daniel Hugh-Kelly had that David Hasselhoff haircut going for him. When growing up back then, i mistaked him alot of times for Michael Knight from Knight Rider. lol He had that look about him, like " The Hoff " did. The Coyote was another bad ass 80's star car back then. So many good shows back then, Hunter, Night Court, Mama's Family, etc... Hollywood, what the ?$?$, can't you put out anything good on TV now days?? ....'cuz all i see is junk lately on my TV screen. :(
after very little research I found out the really cool car is in fact Not a 1970'S Ford Gt 40 but it is in Fact a car they made just for the show on a Vw frame lol they also made one for season two or three made out of a less nice looking car I didn't believe it nether but Google it the Coyote car
@thedriver: According to YOU, yes....but it's a great spy show and a great action show with a hero that THINKS his way out of most situations, unlike Cannell's shows which feature more shoot-outs and car chases than truly exist in real life.
@Neville6000 please stop. that show sucks plainly. it's a "flash" show. the writing sucks, the actors are terrible, and acting to boot. it's one of those pretty shows. makes people think they're cool because they're watching it.
@thedriver: Obviously, you've never seen it, and you just want to be taking the piss out of it to sound 'cool' and 'retro'. Car chases and catchy songs aren't all there is to a show; GOOD WRITING and great scripts make it as well. Looks like too much '80's action TV has corrupted your mind like everybody else here at YouTube.
this was what crime dramas are all about? not this forensic dna lab bs they have now....shows like this, the rockford files, chips, hunter, the a team, riptide, and wiseguy need make a comeback...
Hello everybody ! I'm 36 now and I miss the eighties so much as I'm getting older. Classicgamer 1968 is completely right !!! We've lost our innocence I guess, unfortunately becoming I-Phone geeks. Hardcastle & Mccormick ( Le Juge et le Pilote in french ;-) ) was pure entertainment just like The Unknown Stuntman, Magnum P.I. ( my fav' ! ), Knight Rider ( 2nd fav' ), Airwolf, Hunter, Miami Vice and for those who remembers Riptide... Don't know U mates but we share the same spirit ! Au revoir ;-)
@classicgamer1968 Everything sucks now because people allowed it to suck. The corporations and the corporatist government control everything and without enough common citizens to drive things in the right direction everything will naturally slip to the sucky side.
@carroll1956 Talent and self-respect and the writers were among the most creative too. In modern times, many of the writers just want to ride on the tailcoats of the ideas and success from the past and remake the classics but it NEVER works well - you can't top an original!
Atleast if we could get more tv stations that bring us solely hits from the 60's, 70's, and 80's then tv would be worth watching again.
Thanks for the info rottney2! I think it was called 'Coyote X' on the license plate because on the show it was supposed to be mass produced but the builder got killed and his daughter was a friend of McCormick's, who gave him the car cause he helped solve her fathers murder, he named it, 'Coyotoe X' because it was an Experimental model never before seen or made...a prototype. I read once it was actually an McLaren GT or modelled after it? Let me know if this is correct.
@Fastback11 You know more about the show than me! LOL. And you nailed it, my friend designed the front end after the McLaren, but the 3 Cody Coyotes were built to
his specs, and not a redesigned McLaren. My friend also designed the LA set and police cars for Bladerunner.
that coyote car l@@ks like the perfect hot wheels car from the 80's. Barely saw an episode of this show, but I like the theme song and it seems better than the fall guy for some reason, prab cause it has a hott car, but fall guy had heatha T.!!!
My friend was the designer for the show, and BTW it was the Cody Coyote, not the Coyote X. They built 3 cars to my friend's drawings....one for speed and handling, one very detailed for close-up shots, and one with beefy suspension for the jumps. I got to see every step of the design, as my friend would show me his drawings as he went, Very cool. I was then allowed on the set to watch them film a part of one episode. Again, very cool.
I remember this show well and I remember a different into that includes Hardcastle kicking in the door and rescuing McCormick and blasting his shotgun. It happens right where the song says "iron and steel in the palm of your hand" at about 0:42. How do I remember? I have a cassette with it recorded on it! Good times,great shows!
Every time they jumped the coyote the headlight lenses would exploded. It was as sacred as barrell rolling a car in the A-Team.....Every week it happened at least once
Very similar to Magnum PI, shows like this from the 80's were great!
Agree wholeheartedly with statements promoting music, movies, and tv shows from the 80's. Now days most people have 40+ tv channels to choose from...yet there is never anything on worth watching!
0:31 notice the stunt stolen from this later used in the first Fast and the Furious film. this show was the shit as were all 80s action shows period.
Only in the 80s could you find such bucketloads of testosterone-laden intros like this. Show intros (except HBO's shows) are just dull, quick 5-second nothings to get to the show. Sometimes, we have to look back in time to see how simpler IS better.
Still my dream car. When I got the chance to meet Stephen J. Cannell we talked about it and how they could never get the things to run consistently. Still want one though.
Looking back at 80's television, it really was the era where shows that we very male orientated ruled the airwaves. Consider the following shows
Magnum P.I, Simon & Simon, Dukes of Hazzard, The A Team, Riptide, Miami Vice, CHiPs, Knight Rider, The Fall Guy and of course this show. The emphasis was on action, attractive women, fights/punch ups and defeating the bad guy (which always happened).
Most of these series may not have been intelligent and thought provoking, but they were entertaining.
You can tell just from the theme song that this is probably the greatest show in the history of the universe and nothing will be ever be even half as radical.
"The shows nowadays don't hold a candle compared to these greats."
That's because the crap these days are made either by wussy fags, or the little girlies that control them. Sad. Maybe one day, the little boys of this world will grab their balls back.
@GrowABrainstem Word. Look at Twilight. They took one of cinemas great villains (Dracula/vampire) and turned him into a pussy emo girly man. They are trying to stop men from being men by making you feel guilty for that which is natural: Manliness.
@GrowABrainstem your'e an idiot. these shows are great, and more shows should be like this today, but the use of your terminology and sexist slurs prove that you are just an idiot.
God!!! I finally found the name and intro of this show, been looking for this forever!!!

I got to see every step of the design, as my friend would show me his drawings as he went, Very cool. I was then allowed on the set to watch them film a part of one episode. Again, very cool.

I only liked this show for the Coyote car. My moms loved it tho! That car was hella tight!

I remember this show well and I remember a different into that includes Hardcastle kicking in the door and rescuing McCormick and blasting his shotgun. It happens right where the song says "iron and steel in the palm of your hand" at about 0:42. How do I remember? I have a cassette with it recorded on it! Good times,great shows!

Every time they jumped the coyote the headlight lenses would exploded. It was as sacred as barrell rolling a car in the A-Team.....Every week it happened at least once

Very similar to Magnum PI, shows like this from the 80's were great!
Agree wholeheartedly with statements promoting music, movies, and tv shows from the 80's. Now days most people have 40+ tv channels to choose from...yet there is never anything on worth watching!

Only in the 80s could you find such bucketloads of testosterone-laden intros like this. Show intros (except HBO's shows) are just dull, quick 5-second nothings to get to the show. Sometimes, we have to look back in time to see how simpler IS better.

Still my dream car. When I got the chance to meet Stephen J. Cannell we talked about it and how they could never get the things to run consistently. Still want one though.

Looking back at 80's television, it really was the era where shows that we very male orientated ruled the airwaves. Consider the following shows
Magnum P.I, Simon & Simon, Dukes of Hazzard, The A Team, Riptide, Miami Vice, CHiPs, Knight Rider, The Fall Guy and of course this show. The emphasis was on action, attractive women, fights/punch ups and defeating the bad guy (which always happened).
Most of these series may not have been intelligent and thought provoking, but they were entertaining.

You can tell just from the theme song that this is probably the greatest show in the history of the universe and nothing will be ever be even half as radical.

"The shows nowadays don't hold a candle compared to these greats."
That's because the crap these days are made either by wussy fags, or the little girlies that control them. Sad. Maybe one day, the little boys of this world will grab their balls back.

@GrowABrainstem Word. Look at Twilight. They took one of cinemas great villains (Dracula/vampire) and turned him into a pussy emo girly man. They are trying to stop men from being men by making you feel guilty for that which is natural: Manliness.
