5.0 out of 5 stars Nancy's first TV episode - Hugely Enjoyable, July 3, 2002

This review is from: Nancy Drew: The Mystery of Pirate's Cove [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My first time to see Nancy Drew (and more importantly, Pamela Sue Martin as Nancy Drew!) in about twenty years. And a real pleasure it was.
The story-line was, well, rather sweet and inoffensive (Nancy investigates - gasp - a haunted lighthouse) but since when has "sweet and inoffensive" been a crime? The performances were great (particularly Pamela Sue Martin, who makes a wonderfully assertive and confident heroine), the story held my interest more than I thought it would (particularly in the latter half when Nancy started to put things together and I found that I was being surprised by the well thought-out scripting) and the whole package was as entertaining as Rockford Files, or Harry O, or any other seventies 'tec show that we grew up with.
I would DEFINITELY recommend this to anyone who remembers the series with fondness, and would even feel confident that it would be good enough to entertain a friend who had never set eyes on the show before.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Eerie thriller- fun for kids at Halloween, January 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Nancy Drew: The Mystery of Pirate's Cove [VHS] (VHS Tape)

While out in a boat during a party, Nancy and friends spot a mysterious light coming from a supposedly abandoned lighthouse. The lighthouse is rumored to be haunted and Nancy, of course, has to investigate attracting the attention of a handsome "ghost-hunter" from California searching for lost pirate treasure. Another classic Nancy Drew and quite well made.

5.0 out of 5 stars ND: Pirate's Cove - have dvd, January 21, 2006

This review is from: Nancy Drew: The Mystery of Pirate's Cove [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have the DVD of Season One Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries on 2 disc set. I basically like all of the episodes, some are more interesting than others. This one, Pirate's Cove, has a pleasant location on the coast, assume east coast; at a 'haunted' lighthouse. A thunderstorm & secret cave adds to the fun. This is probably for 70's fans - and now their younger (7+ yrs) children and grandchildren. I would recommend the dvd set rather the VHS. (My family also enjoyed the Hardy Boys 'Haunted House' episode.)
