I remember liking this show quite a bit. Lets face it if I still think of it occasionally 20 years later then it must have made some kind of impression. Too bad it didn't run longer. Im a bit of a gear-head so I watched it for the Vette, you cant go wrong with an old Stingray as your costar. I remember it having a dark mysterious feel to it. I cant remember any of the particular episodes. I guess I kind of wonder if who the star was, Nick Mancuso or the Car. I suspect the car. Perhaps they will offer it on DVD someday then I can decide if I liked it for the car or the content. Oh well, it gave me a way to burn an hour back in the days of no responsibilities.
... View MoreThis series illustrates the point that making a better product does not always guarantee success as the adage about the mousetrap goes. At least not in the world of 80's network TV. This show had excellent directing, acting, cinematography, writing, sets, and the coolest car on the airways. Sadly, due to fumbled advertising and a roving time slot, it just didn't make it. Or maybe audiences at the time just weren't ready for Stingray's intelligent and edgy direction and so passed it up for more down-to-Earth offerings. Whatever the reason for it's downfall, there were a lot of people hooked on the show. Many of my classmates liked it and each week's episode was the buzz of the school. Perhaps the Nielsen ratings messed up the numbers or maybe it just didn't sit well with the disposable income demographic.I personally think this is a candidate for a DVD release and possible re-discovery. It was my favorite show when it was on the air
... View MoreI got hooked on the late night reruns of the show during the late 80s. The show had interesting storylines, an intriguing main character, and some beautiful songs. My favorite songs being "I'll Fly Away", "Ether", and the song from the episode featuring the construction project over the sacred Indian burial ground. I just love rewatching those episodes and I never get sick of those songs.
