They traveled with Hank Summers' carnival during the summer, and the money they made would be what they lived on the rest of the year.<br /><br />I should be embarrassed to know this ;o)<br /><br />If he were rebooted in a series of his own, the action sports thing could work. I also thought he'd be a NASCAR type driver rather than a cyclist. Or maybe they'd be working a motorcycle stunt show in Vegas! We have those you know! <br /><br />I think Ernie Devlin might work better as a side character in a different show. In my Impossibles reboot, I had him in an episode in which he was suspected of a series of robberies committed by a person on a stunt bike. Of course, he didn't do it!! <br /><br />It's true Devlin was inspired by Evel Kneival, but the deeper truth is, they originally wanted this to be Knieval's show. In fact in the opening credits, the outline fo the motorcycle and rider is in fact, Evel Kneival! For some reason, Knieval backed out of the project, and HB created Devlin from the scraps. magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
