Here for the first time is a comprehensive, in-depth look at one of television’s most highly acclaimed and controversial classics – a blow-by-blow episode guide of Desilu’s The Untouchables and the sprawling tale of how it helped shape television history.
The Untouchables Retrospective will celebrate each season of The Untouchables during its 60th Anniversary, starting in 1959 with the two-part film produced for Desilu Playhouse, its fruitful beginnings in the First Season (1959-1960), its most successful and controversial year in the Second Season (1960-1961), its creatively potent Third Season (1961-1962) – and finally concluding with the show’s disastrously re-engineered Fourth Season (1962-1963.)
