I bought the DVDs as a gift for my Mom so the visual quality is as good as can be expected. It´s also the only reason I found out about the many episodes never aired because the DVDs were chock full of eps I couldn`t recall ever seeing and which didn`t have German synchro.
So, I looked it up and sure enough, they were eft out of original German airings for reasons noone will ever know. Like I said, no Nazi plot, nothing controversial, no raunchyness, no nothing I can see why it wouldn`t air.
I will say I mostly completely ignore the plots and cases of the week because, well, those were okay for my 10year old mind but nowadays, not so much. Fast forward all the way. What still works for me are the cutesy character interactions.
Stuff like when Amanda finally gets formal agent training at some training camp and of course is rather non-athletic, klutzy and all that, generall making her the worst recruit ever. But of course the Russian infiltrators think that is just a cover so brilliant, she has to be a mega-competent super-spy. It`s not even an original story trope but I just found it played really funny.
And, as I said, I like looking at young Bruce Boxleitner. *g*
