This was a fun show! Too short lived!

6/10

"I used to watch this on Armed Forces Radio and Television Services in Germany. I thought this show was great. Mario would use some great disguises. Great action. Too bad I only saw it for one season (and in the military, most shows are seen one season after it's normal air season in the states). I think I only got to see maybe 5 episodes. If this is ever on in re-runs on TV-Land or TNT, you try to watch it, but with only 9 episodes, we may not ever see it again. Comedy/Drama. Like 'Leverage' on TNT. I would not compare it to 'Robin Hood' but it's very similar in..."
