I own both S1 and S2 of the hardy boys mysteries. I also read the books as a kid and like the show. The Nancy Drew segments are not my cup of tea, so, i will not review those episode. However, the hardy boys episode has some great co-stars like Melanie Griffith, Valerie Bertanelli, Anne Lockhart, Lisa Eilcbacher, etc. There is only one episode that has Chet Morton and Callie Shaw is not refer as Frank Hardy's girlfriend. The is no Iola Morton and/or rest of their gang.
The episode themselves are well written and have an excellent flow. Shaun Cassiday singing was highlighted in a few episodes and i believe the girls my age at the time had Shaun cassiday's photos in their room. Parker Stevenson did admirable job as frank hardy. There is no Mrs Hardy, but Aunt Gertrude. So, there are some huge differences between the show and the books.
If you are hardy boy fan then you will like this show on DVD.
