Detective Steve Carella (Robert Lansing) worked at New York’s 87th Precinct, along with a line-up of typical plainclothes police detectives, such as the rookie and the seasoned old-timer.
His deaf wife Teddy (Gena Rowlands) added a personal side to the stories.
The series originally screened between 25 September 1961 and 30 April 1962 on NBC. It was aired on Mondays from 9:00 to 10:00 pm.
The memorable theme tune was by Mort Stevens.
A failed remake with Randy Quaid as Steve Carella made it to pilot stage only in 1995.
