The 100 Lives of Black Jack Savage

Until I looked it up on YouTube the other day, I had assumed that only my family had ever watched and remembered a short-lived Disney TV series called The 100 Lives of Black Jack Savage. The show’s concept was out there. A Wall Street con artist dodged a trial by escaping to the Caribbean, where he encounters a pirate ghost who managed to avoid a one-way ticket to hell. Together, they must save 100 lives to cancel out their sins and eternal damnation. Only seven episodes were ever produced, which made complete sense if you watched it, but I stuck around for all seven because the main character often used a ‘definitely not a rip-off of KITT’ stealthy super boat that was both completely out of place and completely awesome.
