Segal is not my reason fro not watching TV, but these days he would be a good enough reason.
However, I have to admit there are a couple of his earlier movies that I liked and own on DVD, and do admit to occasionally watching. The original Under Siege with Tommie Lee Jones as evil incarnate is not bad (would have been better without the "love" interest -- a lothario Segal is definitely not!!!!). I also liked The Glimmer Man.
But if I want to watch action movies from the old days, nothing beats the old Clint Eastwood westerns and Dirty Harry series. Eastwood has the coldest eyes, the eyes I would expect on a nerveless killer.
But TV -- what a wasteland. I haven't watched a TV program in years. Occasionally I play a DVD, but not TV (excluding exceptional things like the presidential debates last year, which I did watch). The last really great TV series IMHO was the BBC's Rumpole of the Bailey.
