Danger Theatre

Danger Theatre (1993)

EndedScripted showComedy, Crime

In this parody in the vein of Police Squad!, each 30-minute episode was hosted by Robert Vaughn and features two 15-minute mini-shows. They are:

The Searcher: A nameless leather-clad motorcyclist who helps anyone who can reach him... and is a doofus of epic proportions.

Tropical Punch: Adam West plays Captain Mike Morgan, the bumbling head of an elite Hawaiian police squad.

Two of the 30-minute segments featured complete Searcher stories. In the last of seven episodes, Tropical Punch was swapped out for a new team of college-age crimefighters, two coffee-shop denizens who work as PIs and spend their time mostly drinking coffee and wearing cool clothing.

Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team. In 1975, the Dearborn High Yellowjackets became the first team in state history to qualify for the Girls' U.S. Soccer Championship Series in Manchester, NH. They never got the chance to compete. Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
