Charlie Wild, Private Detective

What can be said for a show that lasted two seasons, yet still needed two different actors to play the title role? Based on how well-remembered this show is (i.e. not at all), I’d say very little. Both Kevin O’Morrison and John McQuade were needed to create the character of "Charlie Wild", a private dick who managed to solve difficult mysteries in about 26 minutes (including commercials). This early fifties curiosity also featured a youthful Cloris Leachman in a supporting role, though that’s hardly enough reason to beat yourself up because you can’t find the episodes on tape somewhere.
