Try this for a deep, dark secret….
By Heidi Anne Heiner
As one of my top three all time favored shows, Remington Steele has it all: mystery, romance and humor. While the mysteries were firmest in Season 1–”In the Steele of the Night” won an Edgar Award–the series stayed gorgeous strong until near the end of the last full season. We won’t even mention the follow-up “movies” that comprised the final season. It’s fun to watch this original season and see intimate faces from film and TV before they became stars, such as Annie Potts, Delta Burke, Sharon Stone, and Pierce Brosnan himself. Don’t miss nepotism at it is best with guest appearances by Stephanie Zimbalist’s father, Efrem Zimbalist Jr, and Brosnan’s initial wife, Cassandra Harris. Also, don’t look for Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond) yet; she didn’t join the cast until the second season after James Read and Janet Demay left.

A Mystery and Film Lover’s Delight!
By Bobby Underwood
This was a genuinely stylish television show that tapped into the kind of Stanley Donen light mystery romance that is missing from the movies today. Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist were utterly cast and the show only got better with each episode. The Henry Mancini theme music captured the feel of this light and sophisticated show tinged with humor perfectly. It was as evocative and as much a portion of the show as his “Peter Gunn” theme had been decades before.

Laura Holt (Zimbalist) couldn’t get her private detective agency off the ground in spite of her attainments until she produced the phantom agency head, Remington Steele. Business was booming and everything was going outstanding until Pierce Brosnan shows up and assumes the roll of the nonexistent Steele, both around town and with clients. An uneasy confederation was formed that to the delight of fans moved more and more towards the romantic as time went by.

Brosnan’s Steele was debonair and stylish, his past a shady mystery ala’ “To Catch a Thief.” Each season Laura ran into new things in regards to his past in Ireland and his exploits in other countries. Steele was also a film buff and would make neverending references to films of the 1930′s and 1940′s he would recall pertaining to the case. It made all us film buffs who knew just what he was talking with regards to feel like we were insiders, and was one of the a good deal of charms of this wondrous show.

Brosnan and Zimbalist were a terrific screen couple in the tradition of all those ones we do not forget fondly. One could say they were our generations Nick and Nora Charles. There was a fun anticipation for viewers as week after week we watched the two become involved in a mystery while they danced around their growing positive feeling of liking for each other. And it was always fun as little tidbits of Steele’s past were came upon by Laura.

This series was fun and sophisticated and always left you sentiment good. This kind of agreeably diverting film is missing from today’s teen driven box office. It is likewise missing from the “reality” driven television we see so much of today. Remington Steele filled a void left for those seeking the kind of fun escapism which all but disappeared when the Hollywood studio system begun to collapse.

Remington Steele was something genuinely particular in television. Every one of the sequences was pleasurable and finally, after years of waiting, the firstborn season of this genuinely fantastic show is being released. Every lover of classic films was in love with this show. It was a freshening reminder of what television could, and will have to be. I have this on my wish list to pick up and you’ll want it on yours as well.

I’ve seen the DVD set and it is pretty sweet
By Darren Harrison
Emblazoned all over the cover for the Fox season one release of the ordinary 1980s show “Remington Steele” is a tagline that reads “Before he was James Bond he was … Remington Steele” with a shot of reigning big-screen James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan in the title role. In fact, the actress who in the first place had top billing on the show, Stephanie Zimbalist, is nowhere in sight on any of the promotional materialS or final cover art.
Such is the power of Hollywood marketing, for it was Brosnan, not Zimbalist, who became the break-out star for the show, with Brosnan receiving more fan mail than the studio had ever received before for a single actor.
The plot for the fall 1982 show centered around Zimbalist’s reputation Laura Holt who, as a female detective, found it inconceivable to be taken severely (this was, after all, the early 1980s). In order to resolve this troubling set of circumstances, Holt invents a (as she puts it) “decidedly masculine superior.”
All seems to be going well until (in a rather apparent tip of the hat to 1959s “North by Northwest”) the reputation appears in the shape of Pierce Brosnan, who answers a page for the fabricated Steele so that he may escape from two thugs.
Assuming the role of Remington Steele on a permanent basis, Laura and he embark on a series of adventures that for this set are in the shape of 22 full-frame sequences that echo the plots of well-known classic mysteries-from “Murder on the Orient Express” to “The Maltese Falcon” to “And Then There Were None,” a personal favored of mine.
It was these intriguing mysteries and the one-upmanship banter among the two leads that makes the show such a joy to watch.

Commentaries
As is most oftentimes the case with DVDs, the main special features are normally the commentaries; but truth be told, the basi two commentaries in this set (on the original two episodes) are rather light on facts and heavy on silence.
Contrary to what pre-release advertising might have you believe, Brosnan does not bestow to either of the commentaries. Here we have series creators Michael Gleason and Robert Butler. Unfortunately, the two appear to get caught up in the show and forget to leave remarks for the audience.
So what do we learn from the commentaries? Well, we learn that the effigy of Zimbalist wearing a fedora was a major selling point for the series. We likewise learn that the introductory pilot for the show was not the one that aired Oct. 1, 1982, named “License to Steele.”
Originally, “Steele” was to have started with what became the second episode, as execs just wanted to jump straight into the show. But then NBC changed it is mind and decisive it wanted to see the original meeting of Laura and Steele, so Gleason and Butler went back and wrote what was to become the pilot.
In their commentary for the basi pilot, called “Tempered Steele,” Butler is initially confused as he says they are observing the original pilot (before reshoots). Then he recognizes that they are looking at the reshot version.
More compelling is the third commentary amid Gleason and writer Susan Baskin, which is concealed on the A-side of the fourth disc. Accompanying the episode “Vintage Steele,” Gleason and Baskin talk about reputation and story development, specifically the crusade to flesh out the Holt reputation to counterbalance the mystery that was Remington Steele and Baskins attempts to inject more subtle comedic touches into the show.

Featurettes
Included as background data to the series are three short featurettes that vary in length. Two of the featurettes are rather light in nature, with one tracking the development of main characters Remington, Laura, Bernice and Murphy. It is here that Brosnan refutes the long-held faith that he and Zimbalist had a mutual animosity toward one another, saying, “People said we didn’t get along, but we did get along rather well.”
The shortest documentary on the set-clocking in at just beneath eight minutes-features writers Baskin and Andrew Lazkos talking about the use of comic timing in the series and their attempts to emulate the 1940s movies of Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn when writing the series.
The main featurette (at 12-minutes) on the flip side of the initial of the four discs includes a discussion with Gleason and Butler as well as an on-camera consultation with Brosnan on the genesis of the show. Indeed the documentary may prove to surprise today’s audience. Not yet a star-it would be 13 years until Brosnan would don the tuxedo as James Bond on the big screen-NBC loved Zimbalist but disliked the way Brosnan played the title character.
As Brosnan recounts in his interview, that evening he went over the lines with his late wife Cassie and she asked, “That’s the way you are going to play it?”
So Brosnan followed her subsequent counsel and just played himself. NBC still was not happy, but makers Gleason and Butler stuck to their guns and NBC at last relented and gave the series the green light with an unknown British actor in the title role.
Another surprise comes in the revelation that the primary solo pitch for the series did not even feature the reputation of Remington Steele. It was a show regarding a female detective who invented Steele so she could get cases. It was Gleason who came up with the notion “What if he turns up and drives her crazy?”
It was only then that it became a duet.
