#Spenser has never been adapted faithfully enough for my liking. There was #TV's #SpenserForHire w/ #RobertUrich and #AveryBrooks, a few basic cable #Movies, and then the Netflix one. That shows there's been a fair amount of interest. I hope someone else takes a crack at it.

Spenser: For Hire’s coolest cat😎, Hawk, is the epitome of cool and tough. Played by Avery Brooks, he's a street-smart enforcer with a strict code, sharp wit, and a look that demands respect.

It's no wonder Brooks went from a Boston street tough to one of the coolest captains in Star Trek history. 📺

I've added more to this #Blog post than I thought I would, hopefully all the more apropos of fifty years of #Spenser. How's it read? https://geraldso.blogspot.com/2023/09/fifty-years-of-spenser.html

We wish a very happy birthday to Avery Brooks, who played Commander/Captain/Emissary Benjamin Sisko for all 7 seasons of #StarTrekDS9, and is the only actor to appear in every single episode of the series. He also directed nine episodes.

John Wilder, developer of #TV's #SpenserForHire called #RobertBParker's #Spenser #Noir #Fiction. I think Wilder innocently confused noir w/ #Hardboiled. Noir is bleak, fatalist, about protagonists who try to get out from under only to sink deeper into their predicaments. Hardboiled is more open to stories of protagonists who make their way through harsh environments and manage to remain unscathed. As #RaymondChandler put it, "Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean."

#Branded 13 (1965) - 8/10
Action-filled western adventure.

1️⃣ Bank robbers take advantage of newly-deserted town, almost everyone having left to stake claims at a nearby silver mine. Can McCord stop them?

2️⃣ Good story idea by series creator #LarryCohen (#TheInvaders). Teleplay by #JohnWilder (#SpenserForHire) and #JerryZiegman (#PeytonPlace).

3️⃣ #JohnnyCrawford, who starred with #ChuckConnors in #TheRifleman, is the main guest star.
