Remington Steele was a big hit though, a main show in the network lineups.....

It was on before i was born and ive know about it ( and i dont consider myself considerably knowledgeable about pop culture).

Actually, Remington Steele was such a hit that Brosnan was supposed to be Bond before Timothy Dalton, but had signed a long term contract with the network for more seasons of Steele.

I know that my parent;s generation were well aware of Brosnan before Bond and even I was. C'mon Xanny, you got caught and are trying to skillfully talk your way out of it. Just admit it

Its actually funny that this has become a big "gotcha" game, but I'm having a wonderful time with it.

Man, I do not approve.

And whatever happened to Jude Law? I would have preferred him.

Ewan McGregor would've been my first choice.

I think Jude Law is a little too slight for the role, but I do think his acting chops would be up to it. I LOVED him in I Heart Huckabees. Bond needs to be suave and debonair, but he also needs that rugged athletic side to him.

Jude Law just as Bond would give any validity to the "judo chops".
