getTV pays tribute to Burt Reynolds with back to back episodes of classic TV series, 'Dan August' and 'Hawk'
As a reminder, before Burt Reynolds was 'The Bandit,' he was TV's 'Dan August' and 'Hawk.' getTV will salute the legendary actor, who died Thursday, by airing episodes from his classic TV series, 'Dan August' and 'Hawk' on Saturdays, September 15 and September 22, beginning at 12 Noon ET. Long before Burt became the 'Bandit' and the #1 box office star from 1975-1982, he had lead roles in these two TV detective series.
When he was on the very cusp of superstardom, the year before his breakthrough role in 'Deliverance,' Reynolds played the title character, a suave police detective, in the 1971 Quinn Martin police drama 'Dan August.' His co-stars on the show were Norman Fell (Three’s Company/Mr. Roper) and Richard Anderson (Oscar Goldman from 'The Six Million Dollar Man' and 'The Bionic Woman'). Four episodes of 'Dan August' will run back to back from 12 noon to 5 pm ET on both Saturdays.
