Hey "Action" lovers...remember to check out the Special Features link on disc 2 of the "can't live without it" boxed set of ACTION. The "Getting Into Action" feature is terrifically informative and hilarious. Chris Thompson, Joel Silver, Jay, et al really set the record straight about their battles with "Standards and Practices," "The Fox Network," as well providing insights into the origins of story lines, and the camaraderie between the writers. While all those involved with ACTION has moved on to other things, everyone's a little sad to see it go, although its early demise was somewhat inevitable and may have in fact added to the show's legacy and timelessness.
The ACTION boxset is probably the best bargain out there. Amazingly, and I'm not obsessive/compulsive in the least, ACTION is so fresh, that every three months or so, I re-watch it from start to finish and laugh out loud all over again. It's THAT good! I've given each cast member my own personal EMMY, although Peter would probably donate his to one of the Wayans Brothers. I only wish that there were some "Lost" episodes of this terrific series.
