Burke's Law

BURKE’S LAW was a hit, prime-time TV series that aired on ABC in 1963 and ran until 1966. Gene Barry starred in the title role as Amos Burke the suave millionaire Chief of Detectives for Los Angeles, who was chauffeured around to solve crimes in his Silver Cloud II Rolls-Royce. The detective series featured unusual plot twists, glamorous settings and a fabulous list of legendary guest stars. So good, BURKE’S LAW was brought back for a brief run in 1994. Each episode had the title “Who Killed…” followed by the victims name. The opening of the show revealed the murder, but not the murderer (that was left for Captain Burke to discover.)
