    The 1987 Ron Ely SEA HUNT series, long thought to be lost, appeared without fanfare on Amazon Prime.

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10005774/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

    23 episodes in pristine shape!

    Typical Canadian production values. So far the only guest star I?ve heard
    of is Jennilee Harrison.

    A bare minimum of information on IMDb. I was going to document it for Ian
    to post, but it?s blocked from allowing screen grabs for verification.

    Fred-Bob says ?check it out!?

    This is so obscure that I've never ever heard of it!

    Yeah, when you have to take a picture of a screen with your phone to get around DRM, I usually pass on fixing its IMDb unless it's a relatively
    easy fix for something that's kind of dire...

    Fred-Bob says ?check it out!?

    Some of us walked away from Prime when they bait-and-switched us with
    awful ads!! ;p

    I?ve been working on it for years ever since I met Ron Ely. We weren?t even sure for a while that the series ever existed because all we were finding
    was promo pieces.

    The good news is somebody else is already on the case. It?s kind of
    piecemeal starting from the beginning, but there?s a lot more there now
    than there was yesterday.

    Luckily, you?ll always have Netflix

    THE BLUFF 2026 Amazon original
    Relentlessly, violent and dark pirates. They take way more punishment than
    it?s likely and get back up like Tom Cruise and wade in for more.

    BTR will hate it.
