An elite unit of Chicago police detectives probes homicides---hence the M as in Murder Squad. One of the early TV cop dramas to get down and dirty on mean streets, this series featured a driving jazz theme composed by Count Basie; and guest appearances by such futures stars as Angie Dickinson, Janice Rule, Charles Bronson and a pre-'Gunsmoke' Burt Reynolds.
