Greg: Yeah, even the series didn't do the greatest of jobs with the concept. I liked it in spite of the creators falling short of what it could have been. The formula for the show was getting tired, but they spiced it up now and then. Though I could've done without the "humorous" shows, which may be the silliness to which you referred.

They do/did have a Highlander series of books following the undocumented (by the show) exploits of Duncan MacCleod. I couldn't bring myself to try one out.

The Highlander property is a bit limited by the "Highlander" name itself. 3 incarnations of the idea (movies, TV show, and (gasp!) cartoon) each featured different MacCleods who all happened to be immortal.

Mike: Valiant, yeah, they were around back in the day when I was collecting (if they aren't still). Had an ish or two of "The Eternal Warrior" but don't remember much about it. "Archer & Armstrong" was some funny stuff. The concept behind "Shadowman" was pretty good, and I think they may even be making a movie based on it (they've made a videogame).

BTW, Lambert apparently trained to have his Highlander accent. To be non-specific European, I believe. I don't know that it can be as bad as the voices Nicolas Cage tries to pull off (he strives for a different accent for each movie) (all of them bad).
