While checking out the tv on dvd section of Amazon.com a few weeks ago I ran across a tv show that had me as a faithful viewer back in the day. Ever heard of Silk Stalkings?

It ran on CBS’s Crimetime After Primetime back in 1991. After a couple of years it ran exclusively on the USA Network. I loved this show. Since I hadn’t seen the show in a long time I headed over to Netflix to see if they had the show and yes they did. So I added it to my queue and placed Season 1 on the top of my queue. After watching the first three discs of season 1, I decided to buy the first three seasons of the show. Man have I missed this show. I will be ordering seasons 4 and 5 next month.
The main stars on Silk Stalkings are Mitzi Kapture and Rob Estes. Those two were gorgeous together. Ben Vereen starred in the first couple of seasons of the show as Captain Hutchinson. Robert Gossett, who now stars in The Closer, appeared as Lt. Hudson during Season 2. Silk Stalkings isn’t on the same level as Homicide: Life on the Street or Law & Order but it’s an enjoyable show to watch.
The show ran from 1991 through 1999. Mitzi and Rob left in the middle of season 5. Another couple, Nick Kokotakis and Tyler Layton, took over but they didn’t last long. Chris Potter and Janet Gunn took over as the main detectives from season 6 through season 8. In my opinion season 1 through the middle of season 5 were the best.
Rita (Mitzi) and Chris (Rob) was the best of the whole lot. The others did nothing for me.
I am looking for the address / e-mail address for Mitzi Kapture (Rita Lee Lance) and Rob Estes (Chris Lorenzo) the stars of the series Silk Stalkings. I am also looking for photos of their 2 last episodes from there Chris got shot until Rita left her badge in Captain Lipchitz’s hand. e-mail address is Hanlie.Venter@capetown.gov.za

Mitzi and Rob were great, granted, but Janet Gunn really knocked me out!!! I wonder what ever happened to her?
