The Untouchables ran on ABC from 1959 to 1963 and wa produced by Quinn Martin who would go on to do many cop/detective shows from the 1960's to the 70's, including the Fugitive. From Desilu studios. This early episode was from 1959 and features the open/close. Visit www.dougquick.com
Always loved Walter Winchell's narration. Set the tone for the show.

@spacepatrolman I'll bet you are right. By this time Arnaz spent most of his time drinking and womanizing. I hadn't noticed Quinn Martin's name as "executive producer." I guess he must have formed his own production company a few years after "The Untouchables."

@bobszvetics1 The mad dog col episode didnt have him shooting 4 babies and killing one like in real life the gun of zangara really did kill joseph cermak the mayor of chicago by mistake when he wanted to kill roosevelt the untouchable probably never gaurded the big 3 at tehran or went to a nazi ralley in madison square garden

Definitely a Desilu production. Many of the behind-the-scenes names in the closing credits are the same as in "I Love Lucy."

In syndication, am I led to believe there is a black-and-white Paramount Television "Split Rectangle" (Lalo Schifrin jingle - 1970s syndication) or "Blue Mountain" (again Lalo Schifrin jingle - 1980s syndication) at the end?

classic piece of gripping sixties telly,the whole show was a masterpiece,loved the show and the whole caboudle,even the narrator was born to speak over the episodes, just brilliant entertainment,stayed up many a night watching it on an old echo black and white set,that a neighbour so kindly made available to a struggling family who didnt have electricity back in 66 in old lancashire ,
