If I remember correctly, that was one of the first "action" series on TV. The very first was (I think) Captain Video....."who asked no quarter and gave none."
There was also "The Toast of the Town" which was the original Ed Sullivan show and the first "soap" was "One Man's Family".
I think I was in high school then, so these shows had to be in the late '40's and early '50's.......when gas was still about .16 a gallon.
You poor kids have no idea what you missed by being born so late. LOL
