Series Description:

The 21 Beacon Street TV show was a 30 minute detective drama series on NBC about a private investigator who tackled the toughest cases that the police department hadn't been able to solve using the most up-to-date technologies and gadgets. He got help from a law student, a master of disguise, and from his secretary.

21 Beacon Street Trivia:

The series obviously took place in a large city but the city's name was never mentioned!

21 Beacon Street was the address of detective Dennis Chase's office.

Dennis Chase was different from most TV detectives. He simply determined who the bad guy was and then sent the cops out to pick him up. He never actually pursued a criminal himself.

In a rare move, every episode of 21 Beacon Street was rerun on ABC in the second half of the 1959/1960 season!

Due to its use of 1950s "high tech" gadgetry and an expert in disguise, 21 Beacon Street is often referred to as a forerunner of the series, "Mission Impossible".
