Hunter (Season 2) DVD Review

Nominated for three Emmys, Hunter stands out as one of the premiere action police dramas of the 1980s. Just as Tom Selleck's on-camera charisma carried Magnum, P.I. through nine highly-rated seasons, Fred Dryer's knack for drawing an audience to his unique persona carried an otherwise lackluster series through much of the decade. The brainchild of Frank Lupo, creator of The A-Team (1982) and writer for such hit series as Battlestar Galactica (1978), Magnum, P.I. (1980), and Walker, Texas Ranger (1993), Hunter is built on the clichd concept of a rogue cop who breaks the rules and takes justice into his own hands. Dryer does well in his role as the Clint Eastwood of the small screen, yet the show's writers give him little to work with in terms of a highly developed character and, as the seasons pass, the plot becomes quite formulaic. Nevertheless, Hunter is pure mind-numbing police chase entertainment with the added element of nostalgia for those who long for the 1980s when Hunter ruled along with The A-Team, Magnum, Miami Vice, and Knight Rider, and I for one loved those shows!

Hunter follows the life of Los Angeles Police Department detective Sgt. Rick Hunter (Fred Dryer), a renegade cop whose family has ties to organized crime. This family tree, coupled with a penchant for getting his partners injured and a propensity to bend the rules, make Hunter an unpopular guy within the department. Only two officers will even agree to partner with him - Bernie Terwilliger (James Whitmore Jr.), who's a total incompetent, and Dee Dee McCall (Stepfanie Kramer), a stunning brunette with a rebellious streak of her own (and also disliked by her colleagues). Together, Hunter and McCall are a perfect fit as partners, breaking up crime rings, solving murders, and dealing with internal problems such as irate captains. In seasons one and two, Hunter's bosses are a thorn in his side. But both are soon replaced by Capt. Charles Devane (Charles Hallahan) who plays the role of Hunter's by-the-book, yet generally amiable authority figure for the remainder of the series. Meanwhile, original Saturday Night Live cast member Garrett Morris plays a brilliant recurrent role as police informant Arnold "Sporty" James Overall, Hunter is a solid and highly entertaining action/adventure police drama series, one indispensable to 1980s TV aficionados

The Hunter (Season 2) DVD features a number of action-packed episodes including the season premiere "Case X" in which Dee Dee goes undercover as a prospective model when a modeling agent's clients start turning up dead. When Hunter and Dee Dee discover that the modeling agent is sending his clients to a photographer who specializes in filming porn, the two get closer to discovering the true identity of the murderer Other notable episodes from Season 2 include "The Big Fall" in which Hunter and Dee Dee must discover the identity of the murderer who killed the star witness under their protection or else risk being pinned with the rap themselves, and "Death Machine" in which Hunter and Dee Dee must investigate a series of underworld murders ordered by a jewel smuggler who was ripped off for over two million dollars by a pair of petty burglars

If You Smellllllelelele..... What Dr. Chef Is Cookin'

How do you feel today? I like to hear that youre feel very healthy .Its better than you feel good. About our first lesson of cooking today like other education, lets we go back to the basic!!! Be patient about the recipe. Theres a billions of recipe out there. The most important thing of cooking is you know the basic of cooking. Firstly, let me tell you about the art of classical cooking.

Classical cooking refers to French cookery that reached its zenith in the kings palaces during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. French cookery is subject to continuous change, and is closely linked with changes occurring in other art forms. The goal to be achieved today is the combination of classical dishes coupled with artistic, but simple, decorative foods. Only by understanding cookery in this sense is it possible to achieve perfection in the practice of culinary art.

Classical Cookery - Classical cookery includes all the basic dishes together with those specialties and dishes adopted from the old French and international cookery. On the other hand, those historical monstrosities, with their pompous and unaesthetic structures or pretentious ornamentation are not a part of classical cooking. Only attractive presentations which satisfy the palate and the eye are classical. This is especially true when the name of the dish also corresponds to its actual ingredients. The names like Rossini, Colbert, a la bordelaise, a la Portuguese, a la florentine, and Argentuil are recognized classical names, and recipes for these dishes require specific ingredients.

Plain cooking - Contrary to classical cookery, plain cooking originally started in private kitchens. The food is simpler, but nevertheless nutritionally adequate and carefully prepared. Many regions and local areas have their own particular cuisine. The climate and geographical conditions, the background of the people, and the traditions and customs of the area often influence the eating patterns and nutritional needs of the people. Many of the dishes unique to a specific region have gained widespread acceptance, as more and more emphasis is placed on nutritional and health needs of the people.

Tomorrow we back to the future!!! We learn the modern cooking. Start from today, I will give you a tips (precept) about cookery. Tips of the day!! :-cooking a tough meat especially buffalo meat, you need to braise it with slow fire. Add some pineapple. You can also put a stainless steel spoon in the pot. After about half an hour (1 kg meat ) , the meat will goes tender. But not the spoon

Happy cooking
