Why this show only lasted for 23 episodes is far beyond me. This was a very well done show. The acting was excellent, the casting was spot on. Jim Hutton as Ellery Queen plays a very absent minded mystery writer/detective who manages to over come this to actually solve cases, David Wayne (a very good character actor) plays the father who is also a police department inspector, and Tom Reese as the sergeant are a rare case of great casting. The plots are intriguing and well written. The guest stars are generally excellent and do a very good job in their roles. This series not only had the mysteries that come with this kind of a show but also had its moments of good humor.
