Phil Harris and Dennis Day rode the popularity of Jack Benny on their own programs on NBC. In fact, for the first two years of its run, Harris' show immediately followed Benny's.
Broadcast History: 16 October 1944 to 10 July 1953
Based on the book Dividend on Death by Brett Halliday, the series features a red-headed, tough-talking Miami detective. The lead role was first played by Wally Maher and later by Jeff Chandler, with Robert Stirling and Donald Curtis also taking the part for a short while. This show is somewhat violent, with Shayne being perpetually “slammed” or “slugging” someone else. This P.I.’s approach to tackling crime is most definitely a physical one.
