I remember reading that NBC felt the program didn't appeal to the masses because it lacked action [=violence]. Some fans feel that it may have been considered too intellectual. Remember, it's the same network that canceled Star Trek

The story I heard was that the show was up for renewal, but it was right on the line of being renewed/being dumped. Then a program/actor NBC wanted more came along. A show had to be dumped and it was ELLERY QUEEN. (The same thing happened to MY WORLD AND WELCOME TO IT; NBC never could tell a quality program from a hole in the wall.) A real pity. I don't see EQ as lasting for years and years, but I think it could have had a nice two-to-three year run.

Sigh
Such a shame!
It could have so much been a part of the NBC Mystery Movie lineup like Columbo, McCloud and McMillan that forth slot never stayed filled long! I'm old enough to know from the first time around! -

A two-year run would have been perfect. Later, they would have had to find a new Ellery and the show probably would have gone downhill eventually. Two seasons would have been perfect! Oh well, a lost opportunity!

Although it isn't an official release, there are a number of online places selling sets with all of the episodes. The quality is reasonable.
I purchased mine at the Vintage Playhouse, and have to say that it was worth it. -

Not sure how useful this will be to others, but I have Metrocast cable and get to see it Sundays at 6:00 PM (RTV, channel 20).

Tonight's episode is 'The Adventure of the Comic Book Crusader'. Cast includes Lynda Day George, Donald O'Connor, and Tom Bosley. Coincidentally, first commercial was for Bosley Hair Transplants.

Me too!
What really makes me mad is there is a guy who sells the series - one season, including the pilot -on IOffer and EBAY for a hundred bucks a pop and claims he has the "rights" to it, because it is now in public domain, which just isn't true. But he is getting away with it!
So unjust!
