I Love a Mystery was the story of three
adventurers, Jack Packard, Doc Long, and Reggie Yorke, who wandered the
world solving cases for the A-1 Detective Agency. I Love a Mystery first aired on the NBC
West Coast network as a daily fifteen-minute serial. In October 1939,
Fleishmann's Yeast began sponsoring the program, which now was
broadcast nationally. In 1940 it became a thirty-minute weekly program
airing Monday evenings on NBC's Blue Network. In 1943 the show changed
back to a fifteen-minute serial for CBS and was sponsored by Proctor
and Gamble until 1944, when it left the air for five years. In 1949
I Love a Mystery was back on the
Mutual network as a fifteen-minute serial, broadcasting weeknights from
New York. It ran until 1952.
The cast included Michael Raffetto, Barton Yarborough, Walter Paterson,
and Gloria Blondell as the lead performers during the West Coast run
from 1939 to 1944. In New York, Jim Boles, Russell Thorson, Tony
Randall, and Mercedes McCambride performed reruns of previous scripts
from 1949 until 1952. |
