I did a minor dance of squee earlier this week when a parcel came from Amazon which included the DVDs for the complete series of Stingray. Whenever I mention Stingray, I have to add the parenthetical expression: "the Steven J. Cannell production, not the Gerry Anderson production". Stingray was one of those things I liked as a teen, and it's interesting to see how it holds up years later.
( and does it hold up? )
The other thing of interest for me is that Nick Mancuso, the star of Stingray, also starred in Matrix (which has nothing to do with the movies, it was made much earlier) a Canadian TV series about an ex-hitman, which was far more intelligently written than one would expect from the premise. I've only seen about half-a-dozen episodes of Matrix, but I was really impressed and I wish I could get hold of all of them. Alas, it seems very unlikely it will come out on DVD. 8-(
