Silk StalkingsSilk Stalkings was a 1990s TV crime drama originally shown on CBS in 1991 as part of the network's late-night Crimetime After Primetime programming package, and rebroadcast on the USA Network. After CBS ended the Crimetime experiment in 1993, the series ran exclusively on USA. Portraying the daily lives of two detectives who solved sexually-based crimes of passion ("silk stalkings") among the rich people of West Palm Beach, Silk Stalkings was sometimes actually filmed in Scottsdale. Most episodes were shot in scenic San Diego however. From 1991 to 1995, the lead characters were played by Rob Estes and Mitzi Kapture, who played detectives Christopher Lorenzo and Rita Lee Lance, respectively. The on-again, off-again flirtation between Chris and Rita, who nicknamed one another "Sam," reminded many viewers of the earlier series Moonlighting. After Estes and Kapture left the show, two new actors, Nick Kokotakis and Tyler Layton, were cast in the lead roles. Fans of the show did not embrace the new stars, who after a single season were replaced by television veterans Chris Potter and Janet Gunn. The romantic chemistry between Potter and Gunn's characters, Tom Ryan and Cassandra St. John (who, according to the story line, had been married to and divorced from one another before their arrival on the series), revived interest in the show and it rebounded in the ratings. After three additional successful seasons, USA canceled the series in 1999. DVDs of Season 1 were released by Anchor Bay Entertainment (Sep 28, 2004) and Season 2 DVDs are scheduled for March 22nd, 2005. Subsequent season releases have been promised in quick succession.
