Acapulco H.E.A.T.
Acapulco H.E.A.T. was a 1993-1994 action-adventure series that aired in first-run syndication. It followed the adventures of the Hemisphere Emergency Action Team (H.E.A.T.), a group of top-secret agents based in Mexico who were recruited to fight terrorism and international criminals. To keep a low profile, the team posed as models and photographers representing a beach-fashion business. The series starred Catherine Oxenburg as former MI6 operative Ashley Hunter and Brendan Kelly as former CIA agent Mike Savage. The series costarred Alison Armitage, Michael Worth, Spencer Rochfort, Holly Floria, and Randy Vasquez.
The series was revived in 1996 with a smaller cast that included Armitage and Worth along with Lydia Denier and Christa Sauls. It was billed as the second season of the series; a third season was announced but ultimately cancelled. The second season aired in first-run syndication in various markets between 1997 and 1999.
