The show Ellery Queen was not only great to watch, but gave us what would be the format of other mystery programs such as Murder She Wrote.

Classic Film and TV Café

Even if their Ellery Queen wasn't a straightforward adaptation of the novels, it still captured their spirit and also wisely set the mysteries in the 1940s.
