Review of Hennesey

Hennesey (1959–1962)
10/10
Great show
21 March 2008
I loved the show, on air when I was in my middle grade school years. Like some others I don't have any specific scenes or memories I can remember. I can recall most of the cast regulars and their roles, I remember Henessey driving his staff car, a 1960 Plymouth with huge fins, and I remember liking its humor. I have always thought my fondness for Hennesey was partly due to Abby Dalton and partly due to liking Jackie Cooper from "The Peoples Choice" ; but now I think the theme music, as others have mentioned, was a big reason I looked forward to the show each week. I can't exactly remember how it went but I know it was a big favorite of mine. As happy as I am that the Steve Canyon series is coming out on DVD this year (I just got the 4-episode sampler and it's great) I would be even more thrilled to find this available on disc some day. ***I have now gotten a single DVD with 10 episodes, 5 each from seasons 1 and 2, and everything I remembered about the show was not only on the money, but I see this show was ahead of its time and first-rate in every way. So enjoyable, I'm not surprised I remembered it with such fondness. The video transfers are not perfect, but given the subject material it hardly matters.***
