Hunter Season 6 - Please Release It!, May 16, 2009
This review is from: Hunter: Season 6 (DVD)
While Season 6 is a more serious season than the previous seasons, it still has some funny scenes between Hunter & McCall as well as between Hunter & McCall & Charlie. It also has Hunter & McCall working separate most of the time. But Season 6 has something going for it.... "Unfinished Business", you know, the one where Hunter & McCall finally reveal that they "got down to business"!
I disagree with the reviewer "Taheen" in that Stepfanie Kramer left due to being sexually harassed by Dryer. If that's the reason she left, then why is Kramer the Godparent of Dryer's daughter born during the series' run and why are they still friends today?
Stepfanie left to pursue her music career. She stated that fact many times over during interviews at the time. The interviews are on Youtube... I put them there. The tabloids have to create drama to get people to buy their papers.
And, after reading Taheen's review, I know that person missed the episode where they moved their offices to Parker Center..... Charlie can't figure out how to use his computer...which was state-of-the art way back in 1989 but it's a dinosaur compared to the technology we have today.
A myth I'd like to set straight is that Stepfanie didn't stand on a box in her scenes with Fred. People who believe that have never watched the show because when they have scenes together you can clearly see that he's a good foot taller than her....so where's the box?

Hunter Season 6, May 14, 2009
This review is from: Hunter: Season 6 (DVD)
Great season, although it lacks some of the light heartedness of previous seasons.
The above review is incorrect in it's mention of Fred Dryer and Stepfanie Kramer not getting along. Stepfanie did in fact leave due to the fact she wanted to pursue her singing career. They reportedly got along very well behind the scenes and were good friends.

Hasta La Vista McCall!, April 13, 2009
This review is from: Hunter: Season 6 (DVD)
I can hardly wait till this 1989-90 Season of this over-the-top police drama gets released on DVD, since it was my favorite season as well as the last season with Hunter's sexy longtime spunky partner Sgt. Dede McCall(Stepfanie Kramer)which therefore resulted in Kramer(McCall) being replaced by Darlanne Fluegel(Sgt. Joanne Molenski) in the 7th Season in September of 1990 and then Molenski was replaced by foxy blonde Sgt. Christine Novak(Lauren Lane) in January of 1991 when Molenski died off in the Winter of 1991 which was of course before this shows cancellation in the Summer of 1991, due to toppled ratings.
Something that always baffled me about this cop drama was in this season Hunter & McCall went from being homicide detectives from the fictional Metropolitan Police Dept. in Los Angeles in the first 5 seasons to now being police investigators from the LAPD at Parker Center headquarters in Downtown L.A. in the last 2 seasons.
In addition to that obvious change; even the inside of the studio that the producers used to look like a real police station in the last 2 seasons looked different, a lot more upgraded, & a lot more upscale like a real LAPD station too including the extras dressed in LAPD uniforms.
It was also interesting seeing
