How did the show ended?


I never saw the ending? Was there ever an ending?

Not an official series finale, only the last episode "The Test." Although they found Jenny in the next to last episode they wanted to film another to leave room open for a possible season 2. Unfortunately the show was cancelled.

Oh wow! Interesting! Wonder if Erin would have been asked to be a main character if it was renewed? I'm a big Erin Gray Fan, that would have been cool! Ironically "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" was a little like that. Well I mean it was cancelled, sadly, and I believe the 2nd to last ep was much more of a finale then the actual finale. It ran for a full Season One and then only 13 eps for S2. But the scenerio was changed then, which was sad too. But still good imo. Erin Gray portrayed Colonel Wilma Deering in this Series.

I'm a big fan of Erin Gray too, but she just wasn't Jenny Hayden. Karen Allen will always be Jenny Hayden.

I was wondering the same thing than OP!

Prostitute: What the *beep* are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.

They found her but she had to go on the run again so they lost her, again.

Then they just wandered off a bit like that dude in Kung Fu.... meandering across the endless wilderness of the USA.

It was piss poor to be fair.

Yeah while the ideas and concepts in Starman were very interesting, having a show build around dudes just wandering around from town to town just seemed flimsy. Yes other shows made it work, but when you consider Paul and Scott had government agents after them, they should have been caught rather easily.
