Jeff Regan Investigator - Two Episodes (08-14-48) (11-09-49)

<B>Jeff Regan, Investigator</B> was one of the three detective shows Jack Webb did before Dragnet (see also Pat Novak For Hire and Johnny Modero: Pier 23). It debuted on CBS in July 1948. Webb played JEFF REGAN, a tough private eye working in a Los Angeles investigation firm run by Anthony J. Lyon. Regan introduced himself on each show "I get ten a day and expenses...they call me the Lyon's Eye." The show was fairly well-plotted, Webb's voice was great, and the supporting cast were skillful. Regan handled rough assignments from Lion, with whom he was not always on good terms. He was tough, tenacious, and had a dry sense of humor. The voice of his boss, Anthony Lion, was Wilms Herbert. The show ended in December 1948 but was resurrected in October 1949 with a new cast; Frank Graham played Regan (later Paul Dubrov was the lead) and Frank Nelson portrayed Lion. This version ran on CBS, sometimes as a West Coast regional, until August 1950. Both versions were 30 minutes, but the day and time slot changed several times. A total of 29 episodes from this series are in trading currency. <P> DOUBLE FEATURE: The Diamond Quartet (8-14-48) Little Man's Lament (11-09-49) <P> <P><!-- FreeTellaFriend - BEGIN --> <a href="http://www.freetellafriend.com/tell/?u=4625" onclick="window.open('http://www.freetellafriend.com/tell/?u=4625&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location.href), 'freetellafriend', 'scrollbars=1,menubar=0,width=617,height=530,resizable=1,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,screenX=210,screenY=100,left=210,top=100'); return false;" title="Tell a Friend" target="_blank"><img alt="Tell a Friend" src="http://serv1.freetellafriend.com/button_red3.gif" border="0" /></a> <!-- FreeTellaFriend - END -->
