Created by Sidney Sheldon (I Dream of Jeannie), Hart to Hart was a Thin Man for the 1980s. Self-made millionaire Jonathan (Robert Wagner, It Takes a Thief) and part-time journalist Jennifer Hart (Stefanie Powers, The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.) even had their own Asta-like pooch, Freeway. Unlike Nick and Nora Charles, however, children weren't part of their globe-trotting, crime-solving plan. Fortunately, they had trusty butler/Bentley driver Max (Golden Globe winner Lionel Stander) to keep them company. Mr. And Mrs. H., as Max referred to them, were introduced by 1979's two-part pilot ("Hart to Hart"), which features Roddy McDowall and Stella Stevens as devious doctors and Wagner's future wife, Jill St. John (Diamonds are Forever), as a wealthy patient. Natalie Wood, his wife at the time, also has a cameo (under the name Natasha Gurdin). Other highlights of the first year include "Jonathan Hart, Jr.," in which a stranger (Dee Wallace-Stone, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial) claims Jonathan is her son's father, and "You Made Me Kill You," in which an obsessed Jonathan fan (Kathleen Lloyd, Magnum P.I.) plans to eliminate the competition--Jennifer Hart. Other notable guests include Markie Post (Night Court), Daniel J. Travanti (Hill Street Blues), René Auberjonois (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), Juliet Mills (Nanny and the Professor), and Eve Arden (Our Miss Brooks). Hart to Hart ran on ABC for five seasons and went on to inspire such popular detective dramas as Remington Steele and Moonlighting. After a move to NBC, it was followed by eight made-for-TV movies. Sadly, Stander passed away shortly after filming 1994's Secrets of the Hart. Three years later, Wagner gained a new generation of fans by spoofing the urbane manner that helped make Hart to Hart such a hit in the Austin Powers trilogy. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Synopsis

This popular TV series from the early 1980s was created by the bestselling novelist Sidney Sheldon. Jonathan Hart (Robert Wagner) is a self-made millionaire, the owner of a huge corporation called Hart Industries, while his wife, Jennifer (Stephanie Powers), is a well-known freelance journalist. Their opulent household is rounded out by the Harts' loyal housekeeper and sidekick, Max (Lionel Stander). The glamorous husband and wife are constantly getting pulled into cases that challenge their amateur sleuthing abilities. They roam the world, mingling with the glitterati while constantly encountering crimes to solve. In the first season, a young boy claiming to be Jonathan's illegitimate child might be hiding a duplicitous scheme, while a story Jennifer writes puts the Harts on the trail of a killer of prostitutes. The comedy and intrigue continue from Vail to South Africa, as the Harts pursue blackmailers, murderers, smugglers, and kidnappers all in a day's work for this dynamite team!

Review date: 2008-06-26 Rating: 6 out of 10

only a short review, because other reviewers said it already; GREAT TV-SERIE!!! its is never getting old...

but beware: information of language tracks and subtitles are totally wrong!!!
thanks UNIVERSAL PICTURES!!! again...

no german language track and subtitles and only dutch subtitles...

more and more dvd's this days have wrong informations on there back...worldwide...

I think it is the least what this bigf companies can do... hand out the right information...

we accept the alltime poor quality of tone and picture (UNIVERSAL does that really good...poor quality), but at least shouldn't be the informations on the backside right?

back to "hart to hart"...
always entertaining and thrilling, great actors (wagner and powers) and glad to get the 2 season...with hopefully right informations on the back.

The packaging says the DVD has English and German audio when in fact it has the same as the Region 1 release, namely English and French, same for subtitles. The packaging states that it has English, German, Greek, and Turkish subtitles but unfortunately only English and French. The current 86% off Amazon deal is the sweetest and you won't find this set cheaper, not even used.

sit back and enjoy

I have great memories of watching Hart to Hart when it aired here in England. Thanks to this season 1 DVD set, you can enjoy the magic all over again. The 2 hour pilot episode is especially noteworthy. The Harts go under cover on a health farm in hopes of discovering more about the death of a close friend. The rest ofthe season doesn't dissapoint, join the Harts as they try to help a little boy and his mother, fend off Soviet spies and and dastardly plans. Glamour, humour romance and high jinks all in one place. As ever, faithful servant and friend Max is at their side looking out for them along with cute dog, Freeway.

really enjoyed this series

have now watched season 1 of Hart to Hart and you know i liked it. i liked all the episodes especially the pilot. it's great watching it with the commentary on. Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers have great on screen chemistry that you do think they are a real life married couple. what i do like about hart to hart as well is that there is a sense of humour in each episode and you do feel yourself smiling at the end of each episode.

This is just what you need if you like to go back in time and enjoy a bit of escapism without too much thinking required and Robert Wagner is just gorgeous. All in one hour sections without any ads.
