"Hawkeye" TV Series

[MikeChapin]

How many people remember the old syndicated series "Hawkeye"? It came out a year or so after "Last of the Mohigans".

It only ran about three or four years about seven or eight years ago. It starred Lee Horsley and Rodney Grant. I think the executive producer was Lee Horsley. Casting Rodney Grant as Chingakuk was a bit of a puzzle. As much as I like Rodney Grant he was definitly too young for the part.

As I remember the series they seemed to try to get the time period right. There were some boo-boos here and there but it looked as if they were trying.

Much more so than the old fifties series with Lex Barker and Lon Cheney Jr..

Wow, I didn't think that it ran that long. I only remember a few episodes then I thought it was canceled.

I never saw it (nor heard about it until this thread), but a quick Google search reveals it first aired in September of 1994 and was canceled in May of 1995.

There you go...

Seemed like it ran for a couple of years but the station it was running on may have split it between seasons. I just remember that I was disappointed when it disappeared.

I do seem to remember Steve Forrest in something that didn't last too long. Must have caught it channel surfing but never found it again.

I do remember the Lex Barker(?) and Lon Cheney Jr. series when I was a kid. They were always fighting the Hurons. You could always tell the good indians from the bad on that series because the good indians had long hair and the bad ones had roach cuts.

Get-er-done...

Got curious and decided to look to see if I could find the series on DVD. Suprisingly the earlier series with Lon Cheney is on DVD. I was wrong about Lex Barker being Mr. Bummpo. It was John Hart. I guess he played Jack Armstrong - All American Boy before this role.

Anyway they have both seasons of it on DVD.

Found the first episode and one other on tape of the Lee Horsley series on Amazon.
