Funny story about that. The show had weak ratings and no one expected it to get picked up for a second season, so the producers decided to end the series by blowing everything up. Then, ABC surprised everyone by picking it up for a second season. Since they had destroyed the city, they set the second season five years prior to season 1.

I liked Highwayman. It was like a cross between Knight Rider and BJ and the Bear.

The crazy Aussie was Jacko. His main claim to fame was that he was a former Aussie Rules footballer who said "Oi!" all the time. I believe he was the last spokesman that Energizer had before the Energizer Bunny.
