THE BARON...a little bit like THE SAINT and a little bit like JAMES BOND., 29 December 2008
8/10
Author: tp-leo from Newcastle, Australia

Our local TV Station has just started screening THE BARON at night, and, so far, it's been a pleasure to see each episode. Unlike today's "dramas" THE BARON moves along a brisk pace, the camera doesn't jump up and down and the stories have a beginning, middle and end (in that order!).

Steve Forrest is a bit wooden in the title role, but that's to be expected I think. He was never a really big star, but he was well known enough to seem important.

For me, it's the supporting actors week to week who make the show interesting. Last week's episode was entitled ROUNDABOUT and it guest-starred Australian actress Annette Andre (who was in the film A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM with Michael Crawford the same year). From start to finish, this episode about drug-smuggling kept me on edge and the story came to a satisfying conclusion and didn't drag on and on like so many of today's shows do.

The show was certainly action packed and some of the title character's escapades put McGyver in the shade for both ingenuity and sheer hokum.

I feel that THE BARON is a little bit like THE SAINT and a little bit like JAMES BOND, and has a real 1960's feel to it, and all in all it's excellent television from an era when programs were exciting to watch and you eagerly looked forward to each and every episode.
