Television Series Recommendation: Cobra

I was recently at a Fry's Electronics store with my friends and brothers, when one of my friends made an incredible discovery: There was a complete series of a TV show from 1993, called "Cobra" (it only ran 22 episodes), and it was on sale for only $8.99 plus tax. This is taken directly from the back of the case:

"Robert "Scandal" Jackson, Jr., is an ex-Navy SEAL who went A.W.O.L. after refusing to blow up an enemy command center housing civilians. He disappeared to the wilderness of Alaska, changing his name and appearance, and became a teacher in a small Inuit community. But a part of his past caught up to him and he was shot in the face, his comatose body left for dead. He awoke in the hospital three weeks later and found himself with a new face and a new chance at life, thanks to a woman named Danielle LaPoint.

Danielle offered him a job with "Cobra," an undercover anti-crime agency that provides justice for victims who haven't benefited from the system. Scandal is reluctant to leave his Alaskan life behind, but then her boss, Dallas, Cassel, makes him an offer he can't refuse: the chance to catch the man who murdered his father five years earlier. From behind the wheel of his classic AC Cobra, Scandal dispenses justice in the fictional Bay City."

Needless to say, my friend purchased the series. When we returned home, we watched the 2-part pilot immediately, as we were extremely eager to see the fictional Bay City, and experience the adventures of Robert "Scandal" Jackson, Jr.; we were not disappointed.

Everything about this series is entertaining. The early '90s music, the episode plots, and the dialogue are all absolutely hilarious. It also has perhaps the most amazing title sequence that I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. Observe:



If you're the kind of person who enjoys watching bad movies from time to time, while mocking them and pointing out their flaws, then "Cobra" is a show for you. Check it out; you will be entertained.
