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?

We look forward to this show everyweek. Fast paced, funny, good plots. Don’t ruin a good thing!!
Best Action seris on TV, needs to brought back,PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!
Great show, definately should be renewed. One of the best ever on Fox.
I think Human Target should return. I don’t watch it on television because I’m not home, but I do catch up with it on the Internet. There is a lot that can still be done between the characters.
My Wife and I have enjoyed this series from the beginning. The cast has a great repour. I was hoping to see the last 2 shows that were cancel. I would like to see this program continued. Don’t do another “24” on us and leave us hanging.
Please bring back Human Target, best action TV show on, great story lines and acting. Also please leave on Wednesday,perfect for mid-week watching.
Please do not let this awesome show go away. It is one of the few shows that I enjoy. I love the fact that it is not going for the sex gratification, just flurtations. I LOVE THIS SHOW.
I think Human Target is a great show it really shouldn’t be canceled! I think there are to many reality shows on these days!
Do not cancel this show! It is the best on TV! If Fox cancels this show I will no longer watch anything on the network!
Yes, Human Target should definately NOT be cancelled . My wife and I both enjoy this program. There are so many shows on television with too much violence and sex. This is a action packed show where Mark Valley and fellow actors have us on the edge of our seats each week . We hope you will re consider keeping the show on the air. Thanks, George and Lynn
Human Target is one of the VERY FEW action-type shows that I have ever bothered to watch more than an episode of. The main cast is amazingly talented (especially Jackie Earle Haley, his Guerrero was what made me stick around in the first place!), the dialogue is funny, and it’s just an overall great show… better than some that are already safe bets for renewal. Please don’t cancel Human Target, it’s a wonderful show!
Do not cancel Human Target pleeeeeeeze! It is one of the best on Fox. Further I like its mid week slot, I do not think it would do as well on say friday, especially this summer.
This is a great show, well acted and interesting story line.
Please do bring it back. It is great TV.
I can not believe that the Raising Hope show got renewed
and Human Target may not. Something is very wrong here!
Please keep Human Target!!!!!!!!
Yes Human Target should be renewed next season and the next and the next. And if Majors character can be incorporated in the story so much the better!
Leave well enough alone I can only say that this tv series is one of the best and I mean the best. Renew this program for the next ten years and then some it has been very very entertaining I really love this show if you cancel this program I will personally write fox everyday I would not stop I am a great fan of the show so if you want somebody to hound fox everyday for canceling the show I’m your man thank you
This series is great. Please bring it back for another season.
