Who here remembers that cult classic from the 60's "The Avengers"
Especially the teaming of Patrick MacNee and Diana Rigg as Steed and Mrs. Peel--pure bliss. And what a great theme song! One of my all-time favorite television series.

1. I remember it because my parents
got that on dvd seasons....not shabby, but the movie they did in the late 90's was, horrible IMO.

3. I have almost every episode, half of them on Betamax, half on VHS.
Even the Honor Blackman ones.

Great program. Loved the "Hellfire Club" episode especially.

7. True, but I do agree that the Diana Rigg episodes were the best.
I didn't much care for Linda Thorson, I'm afraid.

4. All I can remember is Diana Rigg in tight leather pants.
She and Steed were somewhat friendly.
