TV URBAN LEGEND<\/span><\/u>: When the series was first conceived, Remington Steele was not going to exist…for real!<\/p>\n

It has long been said about Remington Steele that Stephanie Zimbalist and Pierce Brosnan did not get along. Brosnan has done his best to dispel these rumors, but he has never been all that convincing (however, it’s certainly not so obvious that I could state it as a fact, but if I ever had to bet on whether the pair liked each other, I would bet on “not”) and Doris Roberts claims that they did not (Zimbalist has been silent on the subject).<\/p>\n

If Zimbalist DID have a problem with Brosnan, it likely had to do with the fact that the show was initially intended as a starring vehicle for her, while it eventually became a dual starring show, and by the end of the program, Brosnan was the driving force. <\/p>\n

That did not, however, likely prepare her for the embarrassment of the initial release of the Remington Steele Season 1 DVD.
\n
\nFox (who purchased all of MTM Enterprises’ shows years ago) decided to play up Pierce Brosnan’s stardom with the release of Season 1 of Remington Steele (which they decided to do in two separate volumes for some reason). <\/p>\n

That’s fair enough.<\/p>\n

However, what’s NOT fair enough is HOW they decided to do it. <\/p>\n
