The series aired for one season (1963–1964), and was shown Monday nights on CBS. Set in New York City, the show explored issues of urban life, some of them grim.

Naked City (TV Series)
''Naked City'' is an American police procedural television series from Screen Gems that aired on ABC from 1958 to 1959 and from 1960 to 1963. It was inspired by the 1948 motion picture ''The Naked City'' and mimics its dramatic "semi- documentary" format. As in the film, each episode concluded with a narrator intoning the iconic line: "There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them." The ''Naked City'' episode "Four Sweet Corners" (1959) inspired the series '' Route 66'', created by Stirling Silliphant. ''Route 66'' was broadcast by CBS from 1960 to 1964, and, like ''Naked City'', followed the "semi-anthology" format of building the stories around the guest actors, rather than the regular cast. In 1997, the episode "Sweet Prince of Delancey Street" (1961) was ranked number 93 on ''TV Guide'' " 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time" list. Synopsis Filmed on location in New York City, the series concerned the detectives of NYPD's 65th Precinct (changed f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
