Isn't that our man "Flash Gordon" in the title role? I have heard of the show, but never watched it, only the You Tube snippets. Gotta love the voice-over intro! That's some custom job on the truck alright - a helicopter hidden in there too I believe? So, what happened? Did it just run of out money or something? I seem to remember Automan was the same. It was hugely expensive and not as big a hit as those executives imagined.

It was hugely expensive and not as big a hit as those executives imagined. The show was created by Glen A. Larson and it was quite successful but at the time (1988) there was a strike at NBC. The Highwayman had only a few episodes under its belt so it wasnt pulling in huge ratings(High enough though)and it didnt survive through the the strike, it was pulled because of its huge expense as well as the "Not high enough ratings". To give you an idea of the expense Jetto's truck(The really low black and grey one)was a one off that NBC bought for the show, it was a Strick cab under concept truck: www.os1.ru/article/history/2002_07_A_2005_01_11-15_12_18/Highway's truck was a modified 1980 Kenworth C.O.E that cost $125,000 to modify, there was a Lotus Esprit in it too, like I said $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Seinfeld pulled in very low rating for its early episodes and NBC wanted to pull the plug but it got a grant from the sports department to film 4 more episodes so the 1st season of Seinfeld can be ranked as a series of one-offs! Why do NBC always make bad choices?, they nearly cancelled Seinfeld

This is Ducati's "Highwayman" message board that went live a few days ago. thehighwayman88.proboards50.com/index.cgiScott. A while ago I seem to recall you were interested in "The Phoenix" another short-lived ABC series from 1981. I loved this show. Here's a clip of the opening credits to wet your whistle. 3 episodes only I state again! What a shame ... :-( www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SASkqWyn40
