- TriviaThis series was an attempt by ABC to replicate the success of their 1959 period crime drama hit The Untouchables, which in its first year was TV's 8th most popular show. But Roaring Twenties aired opposite two established hits, NBC's Bonanza and Perry Mason on CBS, and never overcame that competition. It barely lasted two seasons before being cancelled.
Featured review
"The Roaring 20's" was a "must see TV" at our house way back when! I remember watching this show week after week! Dorothy Provine as "Pinky Pinkam" was a very believable character. The show had a lot of action and some really good entertainment. I can still hear Pinky singing "Someone To Watch Over Me" is a kind of sad way at the loss of a boyfriend. Donald May and Rex Reason were great as newspaper reporters, both after the affections of Miss Pinkam. There were always car chases and shoot em ups to be had as well as plenty of mysteries to be solved. This show and "The Untouchables" went hand in hand and I so wish TV Land network would realize that us "Baby Boomers" are out here waiting for our shows to turn up on their network! Many "Boomers" would also like to be able to have these shows available to us in a DVD format.
