What a thrill I got when I saw a Simon and Simon program showed up in the listing. I always enjoyed their antics and their crack-up mother. The plots had suspense, fun and game scripts and often enough to keep love flowing some hanky-panky thrown in
I enjoyed this video! Almost as much for the classic commercials, as for the movie. Not one add had a website reference! The world was so much better pre-internet. People complaining about the sound quality or picture quality expect all video or sound in HD. I can tell this is a VHS recording, almost 30 years old. What’s to be expected. Thanks for the upload. This reminds me of what used to be. I wish tv programs were still this good. I never thought I’d look back at the 1980s & 90s as what I wish still existed.
I have never seen this show as it was screened in the UK. I just love these types of shows with good acting, scripts a mix of drama and humour. Thank you for sharing this,
I never missed an episode of Simon and Simon back in the day. I had the biggest crush on Jameson "A.J" Parker. I still love watching the show today. They just don't make television shows like this and many others anymore. Everything is reality t v.
"ANGUS!" That's my dads name; born and bred in Scotland! I love this show. We watched every week with my dad. He liked it. I miss the 80s TV shows and Movies of the Week!
Yea 80s television was awesome! So many great shows and variety: comedy, action, drama, adventure, mystery...and sometimes that was just one show. lol I really miss TV from back then. Fortunately with streaming and shows on DVD, we can relive those old shows...and without commercials this time. 😉
I watched it with my dad to loved it especially the intro music the part where Rick bust through the barn door on frontend loader I always have wanted to that
@@rodneydockins3485 Yes, Rodney! It looks quite exciting. I love the opening theme music. I love most of the theme music to most of the 80s TV shows and movies. My Uncle Wilson, my dads brother, lives in San Diego and he loves it there. He builds boats and fixes them... boats, Yachts etc... I love Rick in the Cowboy hat 🤠 Thank you for replying, Rodney!
@@jasonw6688 This day and age I'll take the commercials from the eighties because they actually felt like they were more genuine than what we get today which is nothing but garbage.
Thank you for uploading this movie I didn't even know it existed. Simons and Simons is one of my favorite shows. It reminded me of the younger days. Once again thank you for uploading. If you have any more Simon & Simon please put them on.
I didn't know this movie existed either. I watched it and loved it!! It would be awesome if this person posted some episodes here; I've been dying to rewatch the series.
one of my fav shows, pure episodic joy each week. And if you missed an episode, didnt really matter just watch next week and life goes on. I remember people associated with either A.J. or Rick. I was an "A.J." and my best friend was a "Rick".
I was hired to use my dog for the police dog. They couldn't find a German shepherd well trained enough for this so used good old Dread who was a veteran of several movies. Gerald was really a nice guy, as was his wife. I had never watched the show but sure enjoyed visiting with all 3 during breaks in filming. Dread loved them and Gerald fell in love with him.
I remember the show Simon and Simon a few years ago it has the cast including Jameson Parker - Gerald Mcraney - Tim Reid and many more it has different characters but the movie Simon and Simon in trouble again it was incredible movie
It's not just nostalgia. I believe a big reason why so many people say they miss shows like this is because the writers weaved values into the stories that resonated with Americans on a deeper level. Not saying they were perfect, but you discovered things like brotherly love, sticking up for one other, digging to find the truth about what is going on around you, and overlooking minor issues to save someone's life. Values like this have slowly been being eroded away in our media.
Thanks for closed-captioned...i didn't have it back in the 1980s with his show....have to use my sister to do interpreter for me sometime when she is on good mood...lol
Thank you so much posting this! I had never seen this before and really enjoyed it. I love the series and have been wanting to rewatch it for a while now. Sadly it's not on any streaming service so this was a great surprise. I'll be buying the first season DVD in the near future and the rest are on my Christmas list. 😁
I'm going to refrain from watching this right now....Glad it's available. I've been watching Simon and Simon here and there since the Mid 2000's when I was in my early 20's. I'm Now 40 this year and have been watching it more regularly after purchasing the DVD's. I started with a small 10 episode dvd. and purchased the First season and second season. From there I got the entire series 8 seasons rip in original sealed dvd sets. These are not authentic shoutfactory ...a replica. Plays perfectly! I'm on season 5 right now! (BTW: I got my boxed set for Xmas 2019 for $70 USD on eBay) All 8 seasons. Don't pay hundreds for the stuff on shout factory. I did that for seasons 1&2....$88 bucks plus shipping for just season 1 & 2. Get the boxed set on eBay for a fraction of the price. take a look. I'm sure there are some still out there...price should be less than $90 for the whole set.
I loved Simon & Simon,it aired in the 80's in the UK. I watched it here every Saturday morning,i loved Rick's red car. What was it,was it a Trams am?Loved the big button mobile phones they had back then.
Even though it didn't do well enough for CBS to order another one, it was nice to see the boys get the send-off they deserved in 1989 and didn't get because Kim LeMasters was a self-serving douche who couldn't have cared less about anything he didn't develop. How many other shows in the '80s can you think of that were Top 10 hits for 3 years and the network couldn't even be bothered to air the series finale?
One thing that bothers me is how did Max from Hart to Hart win Supporting Actor over Higgins from Magnum PI ? He didn't even seem happy about it. Higgins was way more important to the show than Max any day. I know it was '83 and that but I still wonder how that happened ? maybe RJ has the answer ?!!
Down Town Brown AKA Venus Flytrap and the dentist Les Nesman from WKRP. Some trivia that some might not know. Rick in real life is younger than A.J. In 1986 I was working on the Santa Monica Pier and they filmed a episode of Simon & Simon.
Out of all the TV movies revivals from the 90s, Simon & Simon Together Again is one of the better ones. The first Cagney & Lacey one was pretty good, too. Certainly, they were better than The Rockford Files tv movies. I was totally disappointed with them and they were written by the original writers!!
Simon & Simon was my favorite show, back in the day (I was definitely "team Rick!). I wish that I could find it streaming, somewhere. Any suggestions? Thanks for posting this!
So was this like a special two hour season movie of the show?? I know tv shows would have that sometimes. Once in a great while they would have a special two hour show.
I was part of the 'car crew' when S&S would shoot in San Diego, '84-'87. Fun time, tho unpaid. The Camaros were junk, the Power Wagons pristine inside cuz Mack is a clean freak ..
@@rickr442 LOL! Awesome! Those must have been some great times back then. I always wanted to get into film production. I would work for free if someone would show me the ropes.
You gotta be kidding LOL it's mostly light hearted and comical tbh. A more dramatic detective show would be Spenser for Hire and even that has some humor.
Unfortunately, we all get older and we slow down on our grand adventures. Sometimes even in the movies. It's nice that things worked out. That's what we all want.
There is this actor in this TV series he went on to making other TV shows and movies he was in Jag the TV series he had an occurring role he was also in Major Dad TV series he was also in Jericho the TV series not The Western this was about what if a Doomsday TV series he was also in Designing women TV series the 1980s early 1990s TV series he was also in Alf the tv series Star Trek the next generation Star Trek deep space nine Star Trek Voyager Star Trek Enterprise Star Trek Yorktown Stargate movies Stargate SG-1 TV series Dr Quinn medicine woman Johnny Bego TV series strange luck TV series 👽 Alien Nation movies and TV series
You are a BIG Gerald McRaney fan--cheers🤗 I only watched some shows because of him and Jericho pissed me off when he died and I kept watching them all of a sudden nothing..loved the show, wanted more...but sadly, no more. And I don't think Skeet Ulrich gets enough credit as an actor, either.
To me this was significantly toned down from the series. No Rick's Power Wagon, No A.J.'s Camaro Z28. You don't even here an updated rendition of the theme. It wasn't bad, just missed a few of the little things.
Those 80's shows were so coked up and crazy. l just watched a clip of the A Team where Face assaulted a female prison guard and escaped jail. When he was caught, his lawyer was the manager of Motley Crue at the time. I gotta go find that shit and share. It was so funny.
They are never correct. I think it's a crime that someone can't get the words right. It's unfair to the deaf and hard of hearing to have the wrong words. They leave stuff out and they change the wording. Makes me so mad. They work they're just not very good.
Too many commercials to deal with, now I know why it's 2 hrs long. I liked AJ better, when he didn't have a mustache & he was a lot cuter then without one.
Remakes are never as good as the original series. Glad they didn't try, it would never be as good as the original. Season 1 is on DVD. Whoever's holding on to the copyright isn't releasing the series. Very selfish of them.
How could anyone NOT like Simon and Simon! This is only an opinion (albeit, the Truth) BUT... an opinion nonetheless!! Simon and Simon sadly, never ranked up there like Magnum P.I. (anoth er great show) or even Knight Rider (which was a good show, just not a good as the other 3)(and the other not mentioned yet... ...The A-team: takes 3rd) BUT...above ALL, in my opinion, and anyone who watched the show, should agree....Simon and Simon was a REALLY GREAT show, that SHOULD'VE been recognized as just that: GREAT!
I know this is just your opinion, but...if you weren't a big fan of their show, then maybe that's why you completely forgot about this movie! Which were both great...I might add!
