Teenagers track down mysterious dangers.
Glen A. Larson dreamed this up. Over the years Larson was connected to a few science fiction TV shows (Buck Rogers, Galactica, etc) so I felt duty bound to track down some of The Hardy Boys on Youtube.
I was child of the 70s and never warmed to this series back then but decided to give it another chance 45 years later - I still do not like it.
Today, I can still proudly watch another clean cut youth dominated 70s series - Shazam! - but the appeal of Hardy Boys is still a mystery to me??
From what little I saw, there were a few fantastical things going on in the plots but not enough to keep me hooked. And did they really need to begin the series by using the Universal "Psycho house" in that way?? It was just so distracting. I guess the director decided it was okay to use the house because Hardy Boys was a kid's show and kids would not know Psycho (1960)??
Young Shaun Cassidy would do better work in the very short lived series: Breaking Away (1980-81). Fans of him should turn to that instead.
