Richard Diamond, Private Detective on CBS

1959, TV Show

Richard Diamond, Private Detective

An above-average PI series with David Janssen at his sullen best as the shamus. Perhaps the show's best mystery involved his sexy answering-service girl Sam, whose face was never seen, just her shapely legs. Readers of TV Guide learned the answer in 1959 when it was revealed that it was Mary Tyler Moore who provided the sultry voice. The series was retitled `Call Mr. D' when it ran in syndication.
