About this product

Product Information

Long before Perry Mason and Jessica Fletcher held court as popular television sleuths, another private eye ruled the airwaves. Ellery Queen was the creation of novelists Manfred Bennington Lee and Frederic Dannay, a slightly spaced-out mystery writer whose <I>modus operandi</I> generally involved combing through massive amounts of evidence and endless lists of suspects to somehow unearth the truth. Ellery first cropped up on radio, but by 1950 (with television still a young and fresh medium), he landed his own television series, starring a succession of actors in the title role: first Richard Hart, then Lee Bowman, then Lee Philips, then Jim Hutton, then George Nader. Following the show's cancellation in 1959 and a 16-year delay, Ellery returned to television for a one-season stint, with the title shortened to simply ELLERY QUEEN. The detective was played on this occasion by Jim Hutton, with a supporting cast that included John Hillerman (MAGNUM, P.I.) and David Wayne. Also of note were the program's guest stars during this period, which included such familiar faces as Don Ameche, Roddy McDowall, Ed McMahon and Cesar Romero. The entire 22-episode 1975-76 revival of ELLERY QUEEN appears in this box set, as it originally ran on NBC.

Excellent Series Top To Bottom
This is an EXCELLENT series of one hour whodunnits, with expert casting, directing, acting, and writing. As well, it is set in the 1940s which adds interest regarding wardrobe, sets/styles, and customs of that day. Asa result, this will never really go "out of date". Regular stars Jim Hutton and David Wayne were perfectly believable as son and father, and the guest casts always had veteran, often legendary screen stars. VERY enjoyable fun, and an example of how good TV can be even if circa mid 1970s.

Great expectations, poor performance.
Discs did not operate properly, cut off and froze in mid play. EBay forced to step in to get refund.

Great series! Good luck figuring out whodunit!
Great series!!! I totally missed it when it came out. A bit pricey for only 22 episodes but there are a dearth of these DVDs available. One disc, however, will only play in a BluRay player instead of a DVD. Oh, I defy you sleuths to figure out the murderer in ANY of these episodes! Four stars instead of five due to the price and one finicky DVD.

Because Ellery solves the crimes, his name is appropriate as a title for this show.
I enjoy the way Ellery helps his father solve cases as they come to him to discover their solution. They interact well and Ellery always has a way of figuring out Who done it.

Ellery is no mystery just quality TV
I watched the series for the one season it was on in the 70's, due to the short run and limited number of episodes it isn't in syndication so I bought the DVD since there are no new shows to watch during the pandemic

Ellery Queen Mysteries - entertaining and fun!
Quality cast and light mysteries with a touch of whimsy. Just sit back and enjoy them! It's not an intense concentration, mind-bending type of mystery series. They're just a lot of fun. Jim Hutton is one of my favorite actors and he's cut from the same mold as my favorite actor, Jimmy Stewart. David Wayne, a terrific actor in his own right, plays Jim Hutton's (Ellery Queen's) father. The stories take place in the late 1940s, which means your in for a treat whenever any background music plays. I used to watch this series in the 1970s when it originally ran and missed it so much. (It's a shame it only ran one season) I would thoroughly recommend this series.

a great who done it for mystery fans
at the beginning you are told who the victim is going to be and who the suspects are.after that you are asked to match wits with ellery queen the show begins after you reach almost the end ellery queen character turns to the the camera asking you who you think the killer is and did you get all the clues he then calls all suspects to one location and lays it out for you how it was done and who the killer really is this show requires you to pay attention if you want to figure out who done it your self

Ellery Queen 70’s series
Very intriguing and keeps your attention. It was top of the line entertainment and great visual effects for the time. It’s also a CLEAN, G rated show that all of you family can watch. It has humor and makes you feel like you are involved in solving the case. I highly recommend it.

One of the best series ever! Well done set.
This is one of the best series ever produced, and it's a darn shame it was only one season. The plots make you think, and the acting's marvelous. The guest casts are always superior and the chemistry between Jim Hutton and David Wayne is outstanding. It should have run for quite a long time.
