Here's a great five part episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar from February, 1956. Bob Bailey stars as, "The man with the action packed expense account," freelance insurance investigator, Johnny Dollar.
Because Johnny Dollar was presented in fifteen minute segments monday through friday during Bailey's first season as Johnny Dollar (1955-56) the producer and writers were able to fully develop both characters and plot points in a way that just couldn't be done in a half hour show - or even in a one hour show. This is a great example of just how good Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar became when this format was used. Sadly, the network only stuck with this format for one year - but it was a great year!
