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 renew Human Target for another season. It is a great show with lots of
action, and I enjoy watching it every Wednesday night. I really enjoyed seeing
Lee Majors again, and think you should bring him back as well. It has been a
long time since we have seen him in any kind of series.
Thank You!
This show has to come back! whats wrong with networks these days they don’t give shows time to build an audience . Human Target is the only thing on Wednesday night
please keep this show alive! It is awesome!
I love Human Target and Mark Valley. I think it should definitely be renewed. What else would there be to watch on Wednesdays?
it must come back. it is one of the better shows on the tube
Keep the show, it is one of the best shows on tv right now!!
I’m hooked on Human Target and Mark Valley. It must come back. I want more, more, more.
I really enjoy watching Human Target. Then I call my family and we talk and laugh about the show every week. I really want it to come back!!!
I hope they bring it back! I loved it!
Mark Valley has a great personality and he’s funny. The show is light, has action, humor, intrigue. We get to laugh once in a while. Also their trio is kind of odd, and that’s probably why we get hooked. It would be a shame to cancel HUMAN TARGET.
GREAT SHOW !!!!!!
BUT THE ONE PROBLEM THE SHOW HAS IS -THAT IT IS ON FOX!!!!!!!!!!!
HOPEFULLY THEY WILL RENEW IT
Human Target must get renewed. I loved Jericho, that got canceled, I loved 24, that ended. I loved The Shield, that ended. Fox has some good shows. Keep them. You are kicking the asses of ABC, CBS and NBC.
It would be a shame for Fox to cancel Human Target. It’s one of the few shows on Fox that I really love other than Bones and Fringe. The show would always keep me riveted at the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Those of you out there that want Human Target to come back for another season need to come together and get a petition going to have the show renewed!!
Yes Keep It I Love This New Show. It’s good clean TV – Fun like the days of old. An how is it that Armand Assante and Lee Majors my 2 major crushes growing up both ended up in the finale of my new favorite show. I can’t wait to see how we get Winston back!
Love Human Target…Please keep going next season!
