Outlaws Torrent

Five cowboys are sent forward in time from 1899 to 1986, where they start their own detective agency.
Sometime during the 19th century, Sheriff Grail was chasing a gang of bank robbers when they were all accidentally thrown forward in time to the year 1986. Realizing they need to work together to survive (and perhaps to find a way home), the good guy and the bad guys team up to open their own private-detective agency to fight crime. Maggie was their neighbor and police contact.
I loved this show and was very upset when they canceled it. Just the idea of bank robbers going into the future and becoming detectives was a challenge in itself. I thought the show was very original and it should have not been canceled. I did not have a VCR at the time, if anyone has taped these shows I would like copies if possible
&quot;Outlaws&quot; was a very charming show while it lasted. It was the &quot;A-Team&quot; with Western attire and time-travel mixed in. Maybe the upcoming Summer 2011 movie &quot;Cowboys &amp; Aliens&quot; will have the same Western-plus-SF charm.<br/><br/>Things I remember:<br/><br/>Rod Taylor talking ruefully about how everyone he ever knew (a century ago) was now dead and buried.<br/><br/>Also, the time the team rented horses at an urban-park riding stable so they could chase the fleeing bad guys: &quot;Now don&#39;t run the horses,&quot; the stable manager admonished. &quot;Yeah, right,&quot; our heroes replied before galloping off at top speed. (Because horses are for running. Every horse person knows that.)<br/><br/>But the thing I liked best in &quot;Outlaws&quot; was the music score by Joseph Conlan. It was an exceptional Western score, with many facets--rousing action, wistfulness, Americana. I always try to champion this score, and hope someday one of the soundtrack CD companies specializing in old scores will give it a chance.
