I'm so glad it was a success for you and surpassed your expectations.
I just might have seen my first episode of TV's NAKED CITY. It's possible I glimpsed something at four years old. But that hardly counts. As some of you know, ME TV has something called Sunday Night Noir. Wow! NAKED CITY, PETER GUNN. ROUTE 66 may or not be a part of that program. But it follows, and it's excellent.
I was very impressed with NAKED CITY. Cops following a trail, just like in the movie. Much like DRAGNET, only better. Dry, procedural, but not without heart. I won't attempt to judge the series based on one show. But this was some of the best crime drama I've seen on the small screen. What I was too young to enjoy 50 years ago is now available on Sunday nights. There is some hope.
