Speaking of television, in 1998 The Magnificent Seven television series debuted in primetime on CBS. The show ran for two seasons and aired 22 episodes. Critics gave the series high praise, and it gained a loyal following, but not a big enough one to keep it riding.

Leading the impressive cast was Michael Biehn from Terminator, followed by Ron Perlman, Eric Close, and Laurie Holdman (pictured above). CBS tried to cancel the show after the first nine episodes aired but were swamped with fan letters. After the second season, ratings were too low to greenlight a third season of the expensive production.
