Hardball was a very entertaining show to watch! Sure, the writing wasn't the most advanced or creative, but it took what good fiction is supposed to do; take us away for a hour.
The writing, and the acting of the characters Charlie and Kaz, was fantastic. The contrast between them with the age, cultural and their own unique personalities is what, I feel, carried the show and gave it humor. Richard and John, you did a GREAT job!!!I was very disappointed to see that Hardball ended It would seem more now then ever, that if a TV show, despite the writing (e.g., the talented writing and acting of the USA show, Monk (which was originally on a major network)) doesn't have enough violence, or sex in it's content, it just doesn't make it. I bet a lot of quality entertainment has been lost because of those standards. Granted Hardball probably wasn't cut because of that in itself, but I imagine there might of been more of a audience if they threw some dirt on it, which is really to bad. Plus if I am recalling correctly, the show was on a Friday night, which was a mistake for the audience they were trying to hit.
If anyone knows how to get episodes on VHS, or DVD, post a note and let me know.~L
