	Remington Steele - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Remington Steele was an American television series first broadcast on the NBC network from 1982 to 1987.
		In the show's pilot episode (which was actually the second episode broadcast), Laura reveals that she took the name "Remington" from a brand of typewriter and "Steele" from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
		One running joke throughout the series was "Steele's" penchant for quoting lines from famous movies as ersatz bits of philosophy, and occasionally using techniques from cinematic mysteries to attempt to solve crimes, with variable degrees of success.

		Remington Steele was an American (A native or inhabitant of the United States) television series first broadcast on the NBC network from 1982 (additional info and facts about 1982) to 1987 (additional info and facts about 1987).
		In the first episode, she is hired to help track down a thief, played by Pierce Brosnan (additional info and facts about Pierce Brosnan), who takes on the Remington Steele persona at the end of the show.
		NBC, who still had Brosnan under contract, chose to renew Remington Steele for another year in order to capitalize on Brosnan becoming the new James Bond; this backfired, and Brosnan subsequently lost the role to Timothy Dalton (additional info and facts about Timothy Dalton), though he would finally become 007 in 1995.

	Remington Steele (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In its first season, Remington Steele is a highly enjoyable romp--at the time of its debut a rather daring throwback to the film comedy/mysteries of the 30s and 40s (though in its own quiet way it made a point about the continuing disparity in male/female equality in business).
		The hook of the first season in particular is Steele's love for classic movies (which was bound to make the series a hit with film fans), which allowed the writers to borrow rather liberally from classic films--a ploy that near the end of the season veers a bit too close to laziness on their part.
		In one of the season's funniest episodes, "Steele Eligible," a magazine votes Steele one of the most eligible bachelors in the city: a title which leaves the would-be detective overjoyed until all the other bachelors on the list are murdered one by one.

		As soon as Steele and Laura were forced into a contrived marriage that gave them the chance to torture fans who wanted them to get married, but then never gave fans what we REALLY wanted by having them actually ADDRESS their relationship at all.
		Steele was a bit confusing, I and enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd seasons almost as much as the first.
		I was 14 when I saw Bonds of Steele and I just couldn't believe how Steele could be so insensitive (almost to the point of being cruel) at everything that was happening to Laura while she tried to solve the case.

	DVD Verdict Review - Remington Steele: The Complete First Season
		The featurette reiterates the roots of Remington Steele in the caper comedies of the 1940s and that Brosnan, as a rabid fan of the oldies, was perfectly suited for and enthusiastic in jabbering on about Humphrey Bogart, The Thin Man, and all manner of cinematic lore as Steele.
		"Remington Steele: Season One," on side B of disc one, revealed more of how Butler and Gleason generated the finished product, going from the original Laura-only premise to Gleason's epiphanic "wouldn't it be great if he showed up and made her crazy?" idea.
		Unfortunately for Remington Steele, catering to half of half the population (working age women) was not particularly inspired, and the show's quirky, farcical charm wore even on the demographic it was intended to impress.

	Remington Steele
		As Remington Steele was originally conceived, Laura Holt's invention of a mythical employer in order to attract business to her agency (she came up with his name by combining the names of an electric razor and the Pittsburgh Steelers NFL team) was the whole concept.
		The "Who is Remington Steele?" question remained a subplot throughout the second and third seasons, now and again emerging to the forefront.
		Steele was subsequently hit with another bit of amnesia, awakening in a hotel room with no memory of the past two days to learn that he had apparently gambled away the agency ("Forged Steele").

	Remington Steele: Season One (1982)
		Remington Steele was originally supposed to be a show for Stephanie Zimbalist, a veteran TV actress; she would be the lead as Laura Holt, a private investigator who encountered so much sexism that she created a fictional male boss.
		When Remington Steele was almost cancelled in 1986, the announcement came that Brosnan would be the next James Bond.
		Before Doris Roberts joined the series in the second season, there were two assistants in the Steele Agency: Murphy Michaels (James Read, originally a romantic foil for Steele) and Bernice Foxe (Janet DeMay), the oversexed single woman who was still living the sexual revolution.

		Remington Steele has become best known as Brosnan's launching pad (he later become James Bond in GoldenEye and its sequels), but Zimbalist was every bit as crucial to the show's success; her mixture of glamor and toughness gives the show a distinctly adult sexiness and grounds Brosnan's boyish charm.
		Steele was also a film buff and would make constant references to films of the 1930's and 1940's he would recall pertaining to the case.
		Remington Steele filled a void left for those seeking the kind of fun escapism which all but disappeared when the Hollywood studio system began to collapse.

		Suddenly there were cases around the block." The premise for the series is laid out when, during a high-profile security job in the show's pilot episode, "License to Steele," she runs into a con man/thief attempting to lift the jewels that the Remington Steele Agency has been hired to protect.
		In the annals of TV and movie trivia, "Remington Steele" is famously responsible for postponing Brosnan stepping into the 007 tuxedo — as the show was getting low ratings, NBC announced it would be canceled at the end of its fourth season, and Brosnan accepted the offer to play Bond in The Living Daylights.
		But the announcement sent viewers scurrying to their TVs and ratings for "Steele" skyrocketed — so NBC rescinded the cancellation and held Brosnan to his contract, forcing him to back out of the deal.

	Remington Steele - Season 1 DVD Review - MovieWeb
		Remington Steele - Season 1 is 22 episodes lifted from that time in our great countryâs history when the 1970s were giving way to the 1980s.
		While I donât know that this show was really that engaged in reality, the characters of Remington Steele and Laura Holt are certainly engaging enough and this makes for a very solid bit of TV.
		My favorite episodes were âSteele Waters Run Deepâ, simply because it focused on video games, âHearts of Steeleâ because it was fun seeing Laura and Remington pretend they are an unhappy couple and âSteeling the Showâ just because it focused on an aging actress.

		While other girls were sneaking their first cigarettes and going to Duran Duran concerts, I was crouched on the sofa in a state of deep longing, watching Remington Steele.
		Zimbalist's character was such a dandy role model for an adolescent girl: strong, feminist--never mixing business with pleasure (well, almost never); never letting us forget that she did the work, even if he took the bows.
		And then there was the most delicious mystery of all: the ongoing question of Steele's true identity.

		Off-hand charm and self-deprecating comic timing were two of the qualities this dashing Irish-born leading man brought to his winning portrayal of the sophisticated, often inept, con man/private investigator Remington Steele on the long-running TV series (NBC, 1982-87) of the same name.
		At the last moment, the canceled Remington Steele was renewed, and Pierce Brosnan was contractually obligated to remain with the program, forcing him to relinquish the James Bond role to the less suitable Timothy Dalton.
		It later became evident that the renewal of Steele was something of a subterfuge by its producers to keep Pierce Brosnan on their leash.
