See here:Robert, I've been watching it as well and there are a few things I could nit-pick but I don't tend to do that as I usually fall into the either I like it or I don't camp. This one I like. The acting is solid with some great Texas scenery. Very cool about the house. You didn't happen to ask about the price for one of Brosnan's hats, did you?

Every bit the British gentleman John Steed: "Mrs. Peel, we're needed!" Great show, fond memories.When I was a kid I used to enjoy watching the TV way too much! However, two shows stood out for me because of the attire of the lead male characters; John Steed in The Avengers and Pan Tau, a Czech TV show I watched as a army brat in Germany.
I always thought John Steed (Patrick Macnee) always looked so darn British in his Bowler hat.

Another Bowler hatted character was Pan Tau which ran on German TV.

Alas, I'm not a suit guy and don't think a Bowler would suit me at all (being more of a baseball cap kinda guy), but these two looked the part in theirs.
Is it worth seeing for more than just the hats, and do I/you/we need to have seen Lonesome Dove first?Streets of Laredo...
"Streets..." is the 4th & final in the series. Except for James Garner as Woodrow Call (& Gus McCrae is dead) all the other actors returned as the main characters. It isn't necessary to have seen or read "Lonesome Dove" to follow the story but it would help to understand the relationship between characters & what they have been thru, & you would get more out of it.Is it worth seeing for more than just the hats, and do I/you/we need to have seen Lonesome Dove first?
