Shadow Chasers was a series about the adventures of the unlikely duo of a college professor and a tabloid reporter who teamed up to investigate unusual phenomena such as ghosts and UFOs. Edgar ‘Benny’ Benedek was the tabloid reporter who worked for the national Register- a paper that printed such stories as ‘Elvis Was a Space Alien’. Benny also wrote books about the supernatural. Jonathan McKenzie was the professor of anthropology at Georgetown Technical Institute. In order to obtain funding for his own research, Jonathan must first work on his superior’s (Dr. Moorhouse) pet project- investigating the paranormal. It was while on the first of these assignments that Jonathan met Benny and reluctantly teamed up with him. Benny was quite gung ho about the idea, since his association with Georgetown would do

wonders for his credibility. Dr. Moorhouse feared that the reverse would also occur. Besides coming from different backgrounds B~,enny and Jonathan also had contrasting personalities. Benny was very outgoing. loved to try new things and thrived on publicity. Jonathan, the son of a Nobel Prize winner, on the other hand was much more conservative and prefered to keep a low profile. The series was obviously meant to cash in on the popularity of the hit film Ghostbusters, however it was nowhere near as funny or flashy.

Dennis Dugan was best known for his role of Richie Brockelman both in the short lived series of that name and as a recurring guest star on The Rockford Files. Trevor Eve was the star of the BBC crime drama series Shoestring.
