Saints and Sinners (1962 TV series)

Saints and Sinners was an American television series that appeared on NBC for the 1962-1963 television season. The series, which only lasted for 18 episodes, starred Nick Adams as young newspaper reporter Nick Alexander, and John Larkin as his mentor, newspaper editor Mark Grainger. The series also starred Richard Erdman, who played Kluge, the staff photographer and office philosopher. Among the series' guest stars were Red Buttons, Frank Sutton, Jack Albertson, Ray Walston, Irene Dunne, Tab Hunter, Charles Ruggles, Barbara Eden, Cloris Leachman, Elizabeth Montgomery, Paul Lambert, Leon Askin, and Robert Lansing, some of whom would later become stars on other television series.

Saints and Sinners, like Burke's Law, was a spin-off from The Dick Powell Show. The series showed big city life, in this case New York City, through the eyes of the staff of a fictional newspaper, The New York Bulletin. The series, whose executive producer, Adrian Spies, had himself been a newpaperman, had serious adult theme which featured moral dilemmas. Although well written, directed and performed, the series was cancelled after 18 episodes.
