They’ve really pulled out all the stops for the season finale of FOX’s Human Target. Of course, they have to since there’s no guarantee that the series will be back next season. But, even if you haven’t watched the series before, hearing that the Six Million Dollar Man himself, Lee Majors, will be a guest star, should have action fans tuning in to take a look.
Human Target premiered in January and stars Mark Valley as Christopher Chance. He’s a bodyguard of sorts, but instead of just throwing his body in front of his clients, he completely integrates himself into their lives, to become the target of whoever wants his clients dead. Winston and Guerrero (Chi McBride and Jackie Earle Haley) are his business associate and hired gun.
A few weeks ago on Human Target we were given a glimpse into Chance’s mysterious past and we discovered how he started working with Winston and Guerrero. Lennie James played his former partner, Baptiste, who is considered “the best assassin out there.” Valley admits, “I think he kicked my ass to be honest with you… I feel like the audience is rooting for Chance to kick his ass next time.”

Next time? Yep, Baptiste is back, and Chance is going to get some help from Lee Majors, who plays his former mentor. The casting turned out to be a dream come true for Valley. He’s a big fan of Majors and said of working with the former star of The Six Million Dollar Man, “The little boy in me was tearing around the house, screaming at the top of his lungs… Inside I was like [mouth opened wide], Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!” Majors could see that Valley was moved and got a chuckle out of it.
Valley wasn’t the only one with admiration for Majors. The more eloquent McBride, who worked with him previously on The Brothers Solomon, admires the veteran actor for his long history in the business, and said, “You get to hear him talk about television, and he’s been around for a long time, you know, from Big Valley to Six Million Dollar Man, and you’ve got so much stuff in between.”
McBride also admires Majors for having been married to Farrah Fawcett, along with his work acumen. “The guy was actually standing in for himself between setups and stuff like that… I wish more younger people especially would get an opportunity to work with people like that.”
As devoted fans know, Human Target has not been renewed for next season and it appears the network is still on the fence. The ratings have been okay for this season; not bad and not great. Considering the fact that FOX has cancelled 24, it seems likely that the network will take a chance (no pun intended) and bring it back next season. We’ll know for sure by mid-May.
What do you think? Should Human Target come back for a second season? If so, would you like to see Majors again?

Please continue the Human Target series. We love it!
Yes bring back Human Target its the best program on TV.
Keep this show on!! It’s one of the few on tv that my husband & I love equally. It is pure fun entertainment and whoever is in charge of the music has excellent taste. This is one hip-ass show!
Keep this show on – There are few shows like it. Don’t let the reality freaks win over good drama.
Please don’t cancel this show. It is great. If anyone is taking votes I vote to keep it.
yes it has to come back! maybe if the network quits messing around and airs it the way they should.the viewers woulds love to watch but with all the moving around not airing in time there stupid and messing everything up. IDOITS
i agree,,,get rid of her,,,getting too many players,,,,was great with just the three,,,love the show,,,,bring it back please
Get rid of Mrs. Pucci and things might get back to normal! Human Target has and does very well…great!…without her!
Shhh! Be Quiet, please! Don’t tell the network bigwigs that we actually like this show or they will cancel it before you know what hit you! I am SO SICK of finding new shows that I just love-only to have them chopped by those great beings who possess all knowledge.
Yes bring it back. I just found it this season and was so pleased with it that I went back and watched all of the first season. It has action, humor and one can interact with the characters for they each have their little quirks that we like. They are totally opposite and yet they all come together when they need too. Give us more shows like this and less of the really violent ones and ones with an over abundance of bedroom scenes. There are a lot of us who do not like this and are ready to give… Read more »
HUMAN TARGET IS A GREAT SHOW WE TAPE THE SERIESSOWE DO NOT MISS IT. THE ACTING IS SUPERB, PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW ONTHE AIR. SOME OF THE OTHER TV SERIES SHOULDNOT BE ON THE AIR BUT THIS ON IS A KEEPER
I would love to see Human Target return. I love the show and the cast and was really looking forward to it returning October 1st as state.
Pleeeeeeeeeeease bring this series back. My husband and I really loved this show, the characters and plot line. Lee Majors was a great asset. We also loved him in The Six Million Dollar Man and the Big Valley (shows how old we are!). Hopefully, enough people will respond and get this show back on the air.
Yes, definitely bring human target back. It is a “cartoon” of sorts filled with action that is not blood and guts. When the show is over, you walk away feeling like the good guy won. The language is clean. The humor and facial expressions between the characters is refreshing. Their timing is great. I purchased the first season and need to add to the family fun night!
I would love for the show Human Target to come back. I saw every one last season, and can not wait for new ones to air. I hope Fox brings it back. You did have it to air new shows tonight, but changed it at the last minute. Please bring back the show.
