Samantha 'Big Jack' Jack

I've always felt that Jo Ann portrayed the stronger of all of the bail bondspeople that Colt worked for. Samantha seemed to be almost a female version of Colt Seavers whom he respected. Colt never showed Terri, Edmund Trench or Pearl any dignity CLOSE to what he did "Big Jack." I wonder if they ever dated in the past? I also liked the fun character of "Charlie" who was Colt's female ex stunt partner from season one. Both of these fictional ladies had courage and drive. Notable mention goes to ballsy insurance investigator Kay Faulkner from seasons one and two for having guts and being a good lady nemesis to be taken seriously.

It has been a while since I have seen the episodes with Nedra Volz but she always plays some cute character though. Yes I loved her also playing on The Dukes Of Hazzard and having the hots for Uncle Jesse! LOL

She was ok Kathleen-phelan-1 for a character. They had to do what they had to do you know since Markie Post left the show to go onto working in Night Court. So they plugged in the last couple of seasons with different people as the bondsman you know.

I also watched this great show from the start until it was canceled. It is a shame that Big Jack did not stay on the show or Markie Post. If they had then I do not think that they would have had to get the other people on the show you know.

That is surprising that JoAnn Pflug did not bring in the viewers to watch the show. I mean I really thought she did a excellent job in the show. Yes and unfortunately she decided to move onto Night Court which I understand because that show was on for a long time.

She was great to watch on the show as well.
