"STINGRAY": 'Below the Line' (#1.05) - Teaser Trailer

This is the 30-second Pre-Title Teaser Trailer from the episode 'Below the Line' (#1.05).

Writer Tom Lazarus joined the production as the Story Editor, and would stay with the series for the 1st Season only, bowing out by contributing the script of the year's finale episode, 'That Terrible Swift Sword'. He would then transfer to the writing staff of "JAKE AND THE FATMAN", being promoted to Executive Story Editor.

Director Larry Shaw is the one of the show's two noteworthy connections to the Teri Hatcher/Eva Longoria comedy drama "DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES", as Shaw has, up until it's 7th Season (2009-10), directed 42 episodes, and gone from beginning as a Supervising Producer, to becoming one of the main Executive Producers. The second connection between that series and "STINGRAY" is actor Doug Savant, better known as Lynette's husband, Tom Scavo. Savant guest-starred in the 2nd Season episode, 'Night Maneuvers'.

"STINGRAY" was an action/crime drama/detective series, that ran from 1985 to 1987, on NBC in the United States, then later in the UK on the leading satellite and cable channel SKY One. The show starred Nick Mancuso (of "Under Siege" and "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory" fame), and was created by Stephen J. Cannell (of "The A-Team" and "The Rockford Files").
