Shaft: The TV Movie Collection

He's the coolest private detective around, caught up in all the hottest cases. Can you dig it? Richard Roundtree portrays streetsmart Harlem sleuth John Shaft, reprising the film role he played in three trend-setting movies of the early 1970s (and would revisit in the 2000 Shaft remake starring Samuel L. Jackson). In these seven episodes that each ran in a 90-minute timeslot, Shaft likes his women chic, his cars fast and his clothes expensive -- and takes the fight to mob lowlifes, scumballs and vigilantes who prey upon Shaft's pals and other decent, everyday people. And, yes, it just wouldn't be Shaft without the signature theme music of Isaac Hayes. That's here, too. Right on!
