Hart to Hart Audience Reviews

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
famelovingboy68 Between the mostly comedic Moonlighting and the dark, gritty crime shows of the 21st century like CSI and Criminal Minds, crime series' like this portrayed the scathing wold of diabolical crime and murder without being too grim and intense, unlike crime shows of the past couple decades. Wagner's Jonathan Hart was a superhero level fighter, and also a refined gentleman, very manly but too humble, dignified, and willing to show his feelings to be macho and Jennifer was just as plucky, self-reliant and quick-witted; the quips and cute jokes made this show much more lighthearted than other crime shows, especially today's. Their laid-back, fun-loving butler gave a good amount of the laughs with his comedic deliveries. They were very wealthy and lived a glamorous lifestyle but didn't lose sight of what mattered in life and wouldn't hesitate to help anybody. Which is why they were amateur detectives in the first place. Their wealth, plucky resourcefulness, and street smarts gave them clearance to go on any caper and often made them targets for the nefarious villains. I have wondered why they never had children, I did think that was somewhat sad: one time there was a young boy who claimed to be Jonathan's son, a situation that came together by one of Jonathan's old loves and an unstable father where they were both very kind, devoted and protective parents who grew attached to the boy in season 1. Another attractive quality of the show is their cute little shaggy dog and how he was written as one of the family and one of the detectives. Most shows don't seem to write animals as that versatile and central to the story unless the show is about the animal. The episodes write suspense together nicely with creepy two-faced characters and setups and the culprits evil deeds and preying so close by all the noble, likable heroes.
Originator1994 Glad to see the series and the movies are back on Hallmark beginning 2015....there is a treasure trove of good old TV hidden away in vaults like Hallmark and Lifetime and yet Hallmark seems to be the only one bringing any back to our current times. Lifetime is so lacking in this respect and instead they choose to continue to show the same movies over and over and over, many with the same story lines ...Boring ...Hart to Hart was/is good escapism and great to see the genre of yesteryear and how times have changed like no modern tech toys back then. What did surprise me, tho, was seeing Stephanie Powers wearing a fur coat in season one episode fourteen as she was one that was out to save animals from being killed for their fur or ivory...that was very disappointing and even if it was for her "character " doubt her character would have worn it either.
bensonmum2 If you've read some of my other user comments, you'll quickly discover that Hart to Hart isn't the kind of thing I usually go for. But, surprisingly, the show works for me. A loving relationship, plenty of money, a wonderful house, nice cars, and a life filled with adventure and mystery – this is what has always drawn me to Hart to Hart.At the heart of Hart to Hart is its two leads – Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers as Johnathan and Jennifer Hart. Has there ever been a more perfect television couple? It's easy to see that they were longtime friends in real life before the show started. They seem so natural together. Both are also accomplished actors and are capable of making even the most ridiculous of situations believable. And Lionel Stander as the butler, chauffeur, handyman, cook, and general do everything guy, Max, is also a real asset. Like Wagner and Powers, he came to the series with a long resume. It's a solid cast.Looking back at some of the episodes, they may seem incredibly corny to those more accustomed to modern TV. Two people just don't find themselves in these kinds of predicaments week after week. One week you're running from drug smugglers, the next week your house is completely emptied by thieves, and the next you're recovering a priceless antique for a Buddhist temple. I could live a lifetime and never have one episode worth of the adventure the Harts experienced. And, you know what? – it's this implausibility that really makes the show work for me. I enjoy it because it is unrealistic and fanciful. Life is tough enough without having reality rear its ugly head disguised as entertainment on television. I love to turn on something like Hart to Hart (or Charlie's Angels or Wonder Woman or Banacek or whatever show you can name form this period) and be entertained, and, even for a brief moment, forget about the real problems we all face. I don't find today's reality-based television dramas entertaining – they're depressing to me.
madsagittarian I guess this show was a testament to how money can buy friends, because it always seemed that every week a different acquaintance of theirs was either run over or washed up on shore. In the real world, if dashing Johnny in his tux and a martini in his hand called up Harry to come over for cocktails, he'd probably reply, "Forget it you bum. You guys are the kiss of death." Still this show was an entertaining gloss thriller nonetheless: gorgeous Stephanie Powers, Lionel Stander (with his days of blacklist forgotten) as comic relief, all add up to tasty bubblegum for the Martini and Rossi crowd.
