#KraftTheatre Of the 54 eps in S5 (1951/52). 12 survive. 0 are available in the wild! FFS!! All 12 are locke. d in the Library of Congress archive.

Ratings 1951/52:
KTT was down to #23.
Lloyd Nolan's #MartinKane is demoted [>30] but Ralph in #ManAgainstCrime is hanging in there. 29th of the 30!

#KraftTheatre Of the 50 eps in S4 (1950/51). 12 survive. 1 is available in the wild!!!! Hallelujah an an actual darn ep for me to watch!

Ratings 1950/51:
KTT is up to 14th place but still behind #MartinKane (William Gargan) and my boy Ralph Bellamy in #ManAgainstCrime!

Also the TV set numbers:

#StudioOne TV 2.06 cont'd.
The prefilmed scenes are always intriguing. As this was broadcast live from New York the clips are often from New York so we get 1949 footage of New York. This was always the great in #ManAgainstCrime but here in earlier live eps you only get a few seconds of footage!

#Dragnet TV ep #11.22 "Vice (DR-30)" (13-Mar-69).
Love this as it reminded me of those #ManAgainstCrime hotel scam eps. Mike Barnett & Gloria. Boy I miss those two!

The old hooker in the bar (Chanin Hale) was actually at the start of her acting career. She was 33 before she even moved to LA.
