Brian Bloom stars as a younger version of Bo "Bandit" Darville, the character originated by Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit (1977) and Smokey and the Bandit II (1980).
[1] Instead using the then newly released fourth generation Pontiac Trans Am at the time, the car featured as "Bandit One" in this series is a Dodge Stealth, while the original Smokey and the Bandit trilogy introduced two generations of the Pontiac Trans Am, Smokey and the Bandit I and II both featured a second-generation Trans Am while Smokey and the Bandit III (1983) featured a third-generation Trans Am.
The show's hit theme song "Another Dream Away" was performed by country music singer Dawn Sears.
Sears is also featured in the opening title sequence performing the song while playing her guitar.
After many years of being an extremely hard-to-find series to locate, on October 12, 2010, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment finally released all four episodes on DVD, along with the original Smokey and the Bandit trilogy as part of Smokey and the Bandit: The 7-Movie Outlaw Collection.
