[My Kind Of Crazy]

I didnt know there was an original tv show. I only knew of the movie with Denzel Washington

[bwm30]

^Yeah; there was! I mentioned episodes in my last post on the subject because when has a movie had episodes, right The movies followed loosely along the lines of the original series.

Anyways; it was great; but because I was only like 5, 6, 7 years old and living in Europe at the time (my dad was in the military); I only saw it briefly. In that briefness; cause I was so little, I can't remember if I saw full episodes or only fragments cause as we know as children; we didn't understand many things growing up. As such; I only have a faint memory of the original. Watching this version is helping me recapture and see a newer version of what I possibly saw as a kid.

[My Kind Of Crazy]

thats interesting. I wonder if the original is available anywhere to watch

[bwm30]

^Not that I saw!

In the original! Mccall published a weekly classified newspaper ad saying he could help, with number to call. I never thought of it growing up; but now that I think about it with the new series; I think a classified ad was the internet of the day 20 and 30 years ago. Now; classifieds are becoming a relic; but I hope its not the same for newspapers in general. We still need them even with them being published online.

I agree

I did watch the original.

I can't choose 1 episode over another. I liked them all.

Do you see any other differences between the two series?

[Donna K.]

Some, but in a lot of ways it has a lot of the same things in them.

In the pilot episode; the scene between Robyn and Delilah in the car at the centre brought back a memory on me. So I have to ask; was there a similar scene in the original with Mccall and his son, but maybe under a different circumstance for the son? It might've been in its pilot or a later episode if there was one.

[Donna K.]

I think it was a later episode. I remember that William Zabka from The Karate Kid played his son.

^So there was an episode with a scene similar to that? I must've seen it then and since I was a kid; I couldn't understand what they were doing at the time.

Thanks!

[Donna K.]

You're welcome.

The difference was that his son knew that he was The Equalizer and asked him to help people where the daughter just found out.
