The Third Man: Michael Rennie, Jonathon Harris

The Third Man was a series that produced about 77 episodes, and Starred Michael Rennie as Harry Lime, and Jonathon Harris, in a pre-Doctor Smith role, as Bradford Webster. The production years spanned about 5 years with original air dates going from January 1959 to September 1965. Well done but to well known show these days.
Some stations in the USA and Canada do sometimes run the series. If you are lucky perhaps you can catch it.
I've seen about 30 of the 77 shows made, and they've left me with a taste for more.
I'd love to see the entire run released to DVD.

RE: The Third Man: Michael Rennie, Jonathon Harris

Timeless Media has a 2-DVD, 10-episode set of "The Third Man" that you can pick up for about five bucks plus shipping at Oldies.com. Problem is that the opening title sequence only appears at the start-up of each disc and is not included on any of the individual episodes and a TMG logo appears in the bottom right hand corner. End credits are intact on eight of the ten episodes. Visual quality is OK for the price.

Critics Choice also released a single disc, 4-episode collection a while back which did not duplicate any of the episodes on the Timeless collection, but it has been out of print for several years now.
