SHADOW CHASERS

Dennis Dugan, Trevor Eve and Nina Foch star in "Shadow Chasers," an hour-long ABC adventure/comedy series from Warner Bros. Television. Laced with humor and suspense, the series combines the talents of filmmakers Kenneth Johnson and Brian Grazer for the first time. "Shadow Chasers," which follows the bizarre and comedic adventures of two unlikely funny guys as they investigate the world of unexplained phenomena, premiered with a two-hour episode on Thursday, November 14 1985. Johnson wrote the premiere script after developing the story with Grazer and both are executive producers of the new television series. Johnson is best known as creator and executive producer of two successful television series, "The Bionic Woman" and "The Incredible Hulk." More recently, he wrote, directed and served as executive producer of the original "V" miniseries and the series "Hot Pursuit." Grazer has produced two hit feature films in recent years, "Splash" and "Night Shift" and received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay for "Splash."

In "Shadow Chasers", Trevor Eve stars as Jonathan MacKensie, a professor of anthropology at the Georgetown Institute of Science. In the two-hour premiere episode, MacKensie's superior, Dr. Moorhouse, played by Foch, dispatches him to a small town to investigate a series of apparently supernatural happenings. He reluctantly agrees and unwittingly ends up being paired with his diametric opposite, freelance writer Edgar Benedek, portrayed by Dugan. Jonathan is an academic and approaches his profession in a bookish manner. Conversely, "Benny" is flamboyant and unconventional and sometimes uses questionable means. But in the course of the investigation, they realize the attributes each has to offer and become willing partners in future cases.
