This originated as the first installment of an anthology series, The Dick Powell Theatre: Who Killed Julie Greer? (1961). Dick Powell had played Inspector Burke on that show.

Burke's street address is 109 North Milbourne.

For the show's final season in 1965-66, the format was completely changed in order to capitalize on the popularity of spy shows like The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964) and Amos Burke himself became a secret agent. The title of the series was changed accordingly, but the new format proved unpopular and the show was cancelled.
