The first season of
Silk Stalkings is already out on DVD, and this coming Tuesday see the release of the second season. Plus, in case you missed
our March 1st news, Anchor Bay's upcoming slate includes a
July 26th release of
Silk Stalkings - The Complete 3rd Season. That can be
pre-ordered at Amazon for $27.99 discounted price.
But wait, there's more! The folks at Stephen J. Cannell Productions have decided to make a less expensive option available for people who enjoy the show, but aren't into it enough to pop for the mult-disc sets. With that thought in mind, they are putting together
Silk Stalkings - The Best of Season 1 for a
May 17th release (also mentioned in our 3/1 news post).
List price is $14.98, but
Amazon has been selling pre-orders for the past few weeks at only $11.23. For that amount you get 180 minutes of show, in original full-frame video, covering 4 episodes from the original year the show aired. Now distributor Anchor Bay has made that list of episodes available:
Welcome to wealthy and glamorous Palm Beach, Florida, where 'the beautiful people' live, love and sometimes kill. But for homicide detectives Sgt. Rita Lance (Mitzi Kapture) and Sgt. Chris Lorenzo (Rob Estes), these society murders have a different name: Silk Stalkings. Ben Vereen co-stars in the premiere season of this very adult crime drama created by Stephen J. Cannell (Hunter, The Rockford Files, 21 Jump Street) that would soon become the highest rated - and sexiest - original series on cable television. The 4 best episodes from season one chosen by creator Stephen J. Cannell:
- SILK STALKINGS - Homicide detectives Rita Lee Lance and Chris Lorenzo investigate the murder of a beautiful model and discover the ne'er-do-well son of a wealthy local resident is their prime suspect.
- MEN SEEKING WOMEN - A serial sex killer, with a penchant for the personals, forces Rita Lee Lance to put herself on the line so that she and Chris can stop him before he strikes again.
- THE SOCK DRAWER - A police commander's sordid life forces him to murder one of his wife's "dates" in full view of Chris and Rita. He then manipulates an obnoxious D.A. and destroys certain evidence that could lead to the dismissal of Chris and Rita from the force.
- POWDER BURN - Hutch goes undercover as a Jamaican drug dealer in order to help Chris and Rita solve the vicious murder of a socially prominent young woman who was an innocent bystander at a drug rubout.
