bensonmum2 I just finished going through the Honey West episodes for the second time in the last few years. Overall, it's a fun show. Anne Francis is fantastic as Honey. Smart, sexy, funny - she played Honey perfectly. As good as she is, I think John Ericson deserves as much credit for making the show what it was. Other than being a bit too overprotective at times, his Sam Bolt is an excellent partner for Honey. And I don't want to forget Irene Hervey as Aunt Meg. Her comic relief is generally well done.When Honey West is good, it's very good. Episode #4 A Matter of Wife and Death, Episode #21 Like Visions and Omens... and All That Jazz, and Episode #30 An Eerie, Airy, Thing are three examples of Honey West at its very best. For anyone unfamiliar with the show, these would be good jumping off points. Unfortunately, the writing was incredibly uneven (to put it politely). Episode #24 Slay, Gypsy, Slay, Episode #25 The Fun-Fun Killer, and Episode #27 Little Green Robin Hood are among the worst. When Honey West was bad, it was real bad. While I would have liked to have seen Honey West with a longer run, the writing in the latter episodes is so bad that it's probably best things ended when they did.A few other random thoughts: I may be alone, but I never cared for Bruce. It looked like he was going to rip-off someone's hand at any given moment.As sexy as Anne Francis could be, that AC Cobra she drove just might have been sexier. What an incredible looking car! I've complained about it any number of times, but one of the things that annoyed me the most about Honey West was the poor stunt double. He/she looked nothing like Francis.I've read all the comparisons and connections between Honey West and The Avengers. As mush as I enjoy Honey West, you really can't compare it with the innovative and creative "stuff" they were doing on The Avengers.
Randwulf The same building housed "H. West & Company, Private Investigators" and "Charles Townsend Associates, Private Investigations." Whenever I see the camera shots of the exterior of that building I always wonder, did Hank West (Honey's father) and Charlie know each other? Did Honey West and Charlie's Angels ever run into each other from 1976 on? Surely Honey's macho partner Sam Bolt must have been aware of the Angels, hehe, but then again, he was secretly stuck on Honey.Over a decade earlier it was September of 1965 and I was eight years old when Honey West sizzled the airwaves. Producer Aaron Spelling had been inspired to bring the pulp fiction heroine to television after viewing Honor Blackman play Dr. Catherine Gale, the blond anthropologist partner of secret agent John Steed in the original episodes of the British television series "The Avengers." All I remember about "Honey West" from that time is seeing her face in the honeycomb cells during the title sequence. Then it was off to another channel to watch good ol' Gomer Pyle.Most people don't know that the enormously popular "Make Room For Daddy/Danny Thomas Show" spun off the enormously popular "Andy Griffith Show", which in turn spun off the enormously popular "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.". With Honey West in the same Friday night time slot as Gomer Pyle, how could she buck a tradition like that? On Friday nights the people who would be more devoted to watching "Honey West" would probably be out on the town anyway. What's more, Anne Francis said in an interview that the second season was going to be in color but there was a dispute between ABC and Four Star Productions, so ABC decided they could just air "The Avengers" cheaper than they could make "Honey West." They also thought they didn't need two catsuit-clad, karate-chopping women on the air at the same time. I disagree. Cathy Gale's successor Emma Peel was British -- played by Diana Rigg, she was the first Avenger woman to be seen in the States -- and Honey West was American. I would have watched both because I loved "The Avengers," and now I know I would have loved "Honey West" too.When the TV Land channel aired a "Honey West" marathon during the late 1990's ("brought to you in VertiVision, the vertical stacking modern marathon miracle where you know what show is coming up next by the show you're watching now!"), a friend of mine videotaped several of the episodes for me. Yowsa! I soon realized that Honey West knew the secret of being a great entertainer: she left me wanting more! And not just because of her sex appeal; she was strong, she was smart, and the stories brought back that wonderful world of thirty-minute dramas and mysteries which we just don't see anymore. I also dug that crazy jazz score, which I can listen to over and over again without getting tired of it. With a little bit of suspension of disbelief, "Honey West" is credible to me; and contrary to the sleazy pulp fiction novels on which it was based, the TV series can be safely watched by the whole family. I'm so glad those DVDs are finally available!
clifforddancampbell I just went down to my local video store and rented this series that I read about. After viewing all the episodes I can honestly say that the series exceeded my expectations. Anne Francis' role as Honey West is the perfect combination of Kate Jackson's Sabrina Duncan and Jacklyn Smith's Kelly Garret from Charlie's Angels. Fans of the Russ Meyer movie Faster Pussycat Kill, Kill should look closely for Lori Williams. She has two uncredited roles in the 1st and 7th episodes wearing bikini's on both occasions. This show was truly ahead of its time and even though the idea was stolen from the Avengers, Arron Spelling sprinkled it with his own touch on TV magic. The episodes keep your attention right until the end and the acting and fight choreography are superb. Check it out if you can.
mustang68 Honey West/Anne Francis was certainly my favorite back then (on TV, second was Diana Rigg - in the movies, I liked Raquel Welch).Honey had an attitude that Donna Reed & Doris Day did not have. For a kid in the 60's, she was something different & special.My folks let me watch because they thought I liked the cat - duh... I had a crush on Anne Francis... (I was 15).And the ocelot's full name was Bruce Bite-A-Bit.I don't remember much else. Maybe some studio would do a re-make with a current star as Honey (sorry, Anne, but you are in your 70's now, and still very good looking, but you're just not convincing as a karate-chopping PI any more - maybe you could be the new Honey's "office manager" or something... that way, we could still enjoy your screen-presence).
