Someone's Gotta Do It After All

Your mission: To stay away from TV series starring George Hamilton.

Way back in 1969, George Hamilton starred in one of that year's biggest TV flops, "The Survivors." His bad luck with TV continued into the late '90s, with his stint on "Jenny" (ugh) and his doing a show for Granada Men And Motors, thereby answering the question "What do George Hamilton, Jordan, Vanilla Ice and Kelly Brook have in common?"

"Spies," like his other endeavours, didn't bother us long - no one could believe Hamilton ever was or ever could be a superspy; full of smarm but empty of real style, his supposedly humourous co-star wasn't up to the task either. It was a stodgy, dire affair, which can be summed up by my finding comments about "She Spies" while searching for this. Frankly, I wish I was able to talk about that, but it's not on UK TV. (Yet.)
