Richard Diamond

2 Episodes: Merry Go Round * Picture Of Fear

Starring: David Janssenn / Regis Toomey / Barbara Bain / Russ Conway / Mary Tyloer Moore / Roxanne Brooks

Richard Diamond was an ex-New York City policeman who had turned in his badge to go into private practice as a detective. His familiarity with the force and his friends on it most notably Lt. Mc Gough, gave him access to information and help not normally afforded private detectives. In February 1959 he relocated to Hollywood, acquired a semiregular girlfriend in Karen Wells, and began using an answering service to get his messages.

Peter Gunn

2 Episodes: The Fuse * Lets Kills Timothy

Starring: Craig Stevens / Lola Albright / Herschel Bernardi

Peter Gunn was one of the first suave, aggressive, lady-killer private detectives to be seen on television. Working to get his clients out of trouble, and to solve crimes, he often found himself on the short end of a fight but somehow managed to come out on top, often through the intervention of his friend, police lieutenant Jacoby. Gunn spent much of his free time at a jazz nightclub called "Mother's where his girlfriend Edie was the featured singer.

Mr. Wong, Detective

Starring: Boris Karloff / Grant Withers / Maxine Jennings

The First of six Mr. Wong whodunits, Mr. Wong Detective presented Boris Karloff as pulp writer Hugh Wiley's Oxford-educated Oriental sleuth. Wong is visited by Simon Dayton (John Hamilton), an industrialist fearing for his life Dayton and his partners Meisle William Gould and Wilk Hooper Atchley have been selling a poison gas invented by Roemer (John St. Polis), who, feeling cheated out of the deal, shows up in Dayton's office waving a gun. Minutes later, Dayton is found murdered by his secretary Myra Ross (Maxine Jennings).

Bull Dog Drummond

Starring John Howard as the private hero.

This one finds Drummond at odds with an elusive master criminal who resides in a spooky old castle chock full of demonic devices.

Burke's Law

Starring: Gene Barry / Gary Conway / Regis Toomey / Leon Lontoc / Eileen O'Neill

Who Killed Jason Shaw

Gene Barry played a Los Angeles chief of detectives who also was a millionaire, a role not unlike his cowboy dandy in the earlier Bat Masterson series. The character of Amos Burke was first seen two seasons earlier in a Dick Powell Theatre Presentation ("Who Killed Julia Greer"), where it was played by Dick Powell. As portrayed by Barry, Amos Burke was high-living, elegant, and witty, yet cagey and tough when required.
