The show only went one season despite what I thought was a great premise. A shadowy operative taking care of people’s “laundry” and in exchange, he only asked you to do him a favor when asked in the future. This was a great setup for future episodes as we would meet and sometimes re-acquaint ourselves with some of Ray’s previous clients, most of whom were extremely put out and inconvenienced by the poor timing of his requests but, they always came through. And it’s all tied together by the iconic 1963 C2 Split-Window Corvette, black on black with tinted windows. A most underrated TV vehicle.
I was just 7 years old when this show first aired & never heard of it until I saw it on DVD. The theme for this show is just AWESOME. Its too bad it didn't get more than two seasons.
That's so funny. I'm actually rewatching Airwolf and watching Stingray for the first time now. They're on Peacock's streaming service if you didn't already know.
Sky One showed it when they were just starting up. No one was taking any notice of them at that point. ITV aired the pilot as a one-off, giving it the alternative title “The Man with No Name”.
Ich denke, dass der Stingray auf das Weiße Haus zugelassen war/ist. Was auch interessant ist, dass man über der Hauptcharakter so gut wie nichts weiß. Bleibt wohl für immer ein Geheimnis.
Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, wechselte das immer mal. Waren aber meist solche "offiziellen" Adressen, auch Botschaften und so. Vielleicht hat er selbst mal für den Geheimdienst gearbeitet, oder jemand dort schuldet ihm einen Gefallen und trickst mit der Zulassung. Dürfte nicht nur seine Identität verschleiern, sondern auch bei Kontakt mit der Polizei helfen, wenn er mal falsch parkt, und die das Nummernschild checken und dann mal, äh, ein Auge zudrücken.
