Sable (TV series)
Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox television
Sable is an American mystery crime drama television series that aired on ABC from November 7, 1987, to January 2, 1988, during the 1987–1988 season, and is based on the comic book, Jon Sable: Freelance, by Mike Grell.[1] Seven episodes of the series aired.
The show was a one-hour adventure/drama about mercenary and vigilante Jon Sable (Lewis Van Bergen), who by day was children's book author Nicholas Fleming. The program ran on Saturdays at 8:00 and aired its final episode on January 2, 1988. Rene Russo had her first television role in the series.[2] Lara Flynn Boyle also had one of her first acting roles playing a kidnapped girl in the series pilot.[3]
KISS frontman Gene Simmons is a fan of the comic and purchased the rights to the series earlier in his career with the hope of turning it into a big action movie with Pierce Brosnan as the lead.[4] Simmons even starred in the lead role in an unaired pilot for the eventual TV show.[5]
