    Storyline

    Edit
    Ray is a shadowy character with a mysterious 'secret agent' past. People in trouble often come to him for help, since he has a lot of important and powerful contacts. He refuses to be paid for his services; however, those seeking his assistance must promise him a favor. Some time in the future, Ray will come to them and ask to collect on that favor, giving them some task that is often arduous and/or dangerous. The title of the show comes from the vintage Corvette Stingray that Ray drives. —Tad Dibbern <DIBBERN_D@a1.mscf.upenn.edu>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      "Stingray's" real name and actual occupation are never revealed in any of the installments; throughout the series, any attempt any other character makes, in any installment, to track down his identity inevitably and invariably leads in the wrong direction and/or to a dead end.
    • Quotes

      Laney: That's great. I'm just a kid, and I've got more answers than that.

      Ray: That's cause you are a kid. You'll pickup a few question marks as you go along.

    Wonderful show that was woefully short-lived.
    I 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.
