Shadow Chasers ran for less than a season, but it still has a contingent of loyal fans to this day. The premise of the show was that straight-laced British anthropologist Jonathan MacKensie (Trevor Eve) was blackmailed by his department head, Dr. Julianna Moorhouse (Nina Foch), into investigating a supposed "haunting" in return for a research grant. He paired up with flamboyant tabloid reporter Edgar "Benny" Benedek (Dennis Dugan) in an attempt to short-cut the time involved, and over Moorhouse's objections.
Benny and Jonathan meshed about as well as oil and water, but somehow managed to solve the case without killing each other. The episodes continued in this vein, with Jonathan and Benny grudgingly learning to respect and admire each other in typical Odd Couple fashion. Only nine episodes were actually shown in the U.S. Four others were only shown overseas on the Armed Forces network in the original run of the series. The pilot is often rerun on cable, particularly the Mystery Channel. Shadow Chasers ran for less than a season, but it still has a contingent of loyal fans to this day.
