The police drama Hunter debuted in 1984 and was created by Frank Lupo and Stephen J. Cannell. The TV show ran for seven seasons on NBC and features exploits of L.A. homicide detectives Rick Hunter (Fred Dryer) and his partner, Dee Dee McCall (Stepfanie Kramer).
Stories feature the duo foiling plots involving deadly heists, killer porn stars, gangland murders, international terrorists, punk rockers, and more. Kramer left the show after six seasons to pursue her music career and her character married an old flame. For the final season, Hunter and Captain Devane (Charles Hallahan) move from homicide to the elite Metro unit.
The complete series has recently been released on DVD. The 28-disc set includes all 152 action-packed episodes and features guest star appearances by George Clooney, Eric Estrada, Jesse Ventura, Dennis Franz, Brian Dennehy, Ed O’Neill, Bruce Davison, Garrett Morris, Jerry Orbach, Lauren Lane, Isaac Hayes, Robert Vaughn, Sammy Davis Jr., and hundreds more.

Hunter! I haven’t seen that in ages. I’d love to win this
Grew up watching it; would love to own it!
Hunter was a great series! Stephen Cannell ruled Tv during the 80’s and 90’s with shows like Hunter, Greatest American Hero, and the A Team. It would be great to win this show on DVD.
i only vaguely remember this series, would love to see it again
Hunter is and was one of the best all time favorite one hour crime tv series shows of the 1980’s early 90’s I remember it very well it was part of the Nbc Network Saturday night Prime time show case.

My mom suffers from dementia and watches her Hunter discs all day long. Would love to give her new ones since some had gone missing. Mom hid them for safe keeping.
Entering again. : )
Very good show. Love to own it.
I loved this show. This was probably the first cop drama I watched. I was always hoping these two would get together. And I remember when those guest stars listed above were on the show.
This show was totally awesome in the 80s–would love to see it again.
Would love to win this. Great, great show!
Another GEM from Stephen J. Cannell. Hunter & McCall were THE team of the 80’s.
Love watching these old Police dramas, and would love to add this to my collection (and share it with my dad who LOVED Hunter) Please put me in the drawing. : )
Cool. I watched this show when I was young. One of the Amazon links takes you to Survivors BTW
Wow. My mother loved this show. ‘Would love to win a copy for her.
