ABOUT THE SHOW:
"Human Target" was a show about a Vietnam vet named Christopher Chance
who impersonates people whose lives are in danger to draw out the
killers while the intended targerts are in hiding. He had a plane
named Blackwing, which got him from place to place and providing a
haven to his clients during the operation. It was based on a minor
DC Comics character (who got his own comic book after the series
aired) and was created by the same people who produced "The Flash."
In fact, a number of actors from that series (John Wesley Shipp,
Mike Genovese, Richard Belzer) had guest roles in this one.
"Human Target" was a production of Pet Fly Productions and a Lyttle
Production in association with Warner Brothers Television, a Time
Warner company. Lyttle Productions was only involved in the pilot.
