This might be a bit of a biased review because my mom was an extra on this short lived series when it was filmed here in Tennessee. She was one of the Indian extras who had to carry baskets of rubber fish (yum!) and plastic berries in the background as the important characters talked about things related to the episode. I was able to be on the set (or rather off the set but near by)during a few episodes and it was always exciting for me, and the food was always good and there was a lot of it. One thing I can say is that Ji-Tu Cumbuka is indeed a big man, especially when you are about 10 years old and standing next to him. He was also very nice to me. Since this series happened so long ago memories are a bit fuzzy but there is one that happened that is worth mentioning. As Ji-Tu Cumbuka's "Hawk" was walking through the woods he encountered a small baby deer that he talked to for a minute before it got up and walked away. At least that was what the script said. What REALLY happened was this. The deer was attached to a leather thong by its back hoof because it was too frisky and was jumping around and was not being a good stunt deer and would not stay on it's mark. So, to rectify this situation (since time is money) the deer was given a sedative...which did the trick...a bit too well. When the scene was shot as written, the deer (now throughly relaxed) staggered off the scene instead of walking off in a more deer like fashion. So if you happen to see this episode, you will know the deer on screen is actually drugged and feeling no pain. Would like to have the few episodes that exist since it is part of my family's many adventures. We still hold our hand over our hearts when we see the Fox movie logo...even when others think we are a bit weird.
