Crime with Father is an early American police drama that aired on ABC on Friday nights from August 31, 1951, to January 18, 1952.[1]

Plot

The series centered on Captain Jim Riland of the homicide squad, and his daughter Chris, who "had a knack for crime-solving" and often helped him solve cases when the police were stymied.[2]

Personnel

Rusty Lane portrayed Captain Jim Riland, and Peggy Lobbin played Chris Riland. The writer was Larry Menkin, the producer was Wilbur Stark, and the director was Charles S. Durbin.[3]

Production

According to columnist Terry Vernon, the show was filmed on actual streets without using stock clips or background projections, and showed the home life of the Rilands.[4]

Reception

A review in the trade publication Billboard said that the father-daughter crime solvers premise "has the making of a solid mystery-team trend", but the episode critiqued "was marred by trite scripting and melodramatic thesping".[5] The New York Times review of the first episode said it was "...an obviously low-budgeted series, has a far better than average quality of production, even if the pistol shots still sound like cap pistols".[6]

Broadcast History

The premier episode was broadcast on August 31, 1951 for the eastern United States, but its start was delayed two weeks on the West Coast.[4]

For its first three weeks, the program was sustaining. Thereafter, Block Drug Company became the sponsor, advertising Ammident, Minipoo shampoo, Pycope brushes, and other products.[7] Block's sponsorship ended in early November 1951.[8]
