“The Lineup” (1958) A look at SF in an era long gone

It was CBS’s response to NBC’s hugely successful Dragnet and set in SF as counterpoint to that show’s LA setting. Syndicated reruns of the series were broadcast under the title San Francisco Beat.

I was just loaned a DVD set of the first 16 episodes but have been told that all 6 seasons (1954-1960) are available from various sources online.
