Later adapted for television on January 3, 1952 (and was Barton Yarborough's second and final TV appearance before his sudden death from a heart attack after production had ended).

[@aileenwagner2576]

Do u know what the first one was?? I actually thought this was the first one he played on TV. I really liked Romero.

[@fromthesidelines]

The "pilot" for the TV series was "The Big Human Bomb" (adapted from a 1949 radio script), previewed on December 17, 1951 on "CHESTERFIELD SOUND OFF TIME" {a short-lived Sunday night NBC variety show featuring Bob Hope, Fred Allen and Jerry Lester as rotating hosts}.

I’m glad you recognize that, so many say we are living in the worse of all times the only thing that has worsened was gas prices the price of living property value has sky rocketed and crime sits the same

[@rockstarvidyas100]

Good stuff 👍

[@lizthedragon]

How the times have changed. A modern pharmacy might have morphine or even opium, but certainly not cocaine.

[@ftdefiance1]

Cocaine is some times used as a topical painkiller.

[@heyoldman2003]

Coke adds life 😳

[@Dulcimertunes]

I love Fr Brown murder mysteries!

Hah... "In front of the camera. He goes to the dogs." :]

[@johnathonwaggoner358]

What does it mean when he “goes to the dogs”?

[@heyoldman2003]

Good one 👍🏼. Those dang mainline addicts 💉 always up to something 🥳

[@rustyprinter1]

Sounds like Richard Boone?

[@7848ify]

Although it makes great radio, conducting an interrogation on an active film set makes for terrible police work...great episode

[@DCShaneTours]

It's a shame people poison themselves with a drug for so long and eventually die from it, you know, like booze.

[@heyoldman2003]

Sister , do you always keep $10,000 dollars worth of cocaine and narcotics for such a small hospital 😎

[@douglasdavis9038]

I wonder what's better Chesterfield or Fatima

[@otrarchive]

Probably neither!😂

[@heyoldman2003]

Both pretty raspy . I have smoked Chesterfields straights.. strong .. made your fingers yellow . It’s amazing how long some people can take it .. to call them mild .... forget it 😎

[@fromthesidelines]

Liggett & Myers switched from selling Fatimas on the program to Chesterfield in the fall of 1952.

[@blukmage19typeR]

When the director says [the suspect] that on camera, he "goes to the dogs", he means that the actor (suspect) looks and gets worse on each take.

[@RewskOnTV]

What was the cocaine used in church in the 1950s?

[@Mike-pj1kv]

Itz wize to smoke. fatima.
