In only 2 days, the 22 episodes of Ellery Queen will be available via Amazon.com, for $35.99
I loved this show...not so much because of Ellery Queen (who, in this series, seemed to be a Columbo clone) but because of the character of Simon Brimmer, played by John Hillerman (when he was svelte, unlike his appearance in the later series, Magnum PI).
In the first several episodes, radio detective Simon Brimmer would always provide a solution to the crime...which Ellery Queen would then disprove. But apparently, the authors were having such a problem coming up with two different solutions to the same murder that they decided to phase out Brimmer to make it easier for them.
