    • Trivia
      This series was an attempt by ABC to replicate the success of its period crime drama hit The Untouchables (1959), which, in its first year, became TV's 8th most popular show. But The Roaring 20's (1960) aired opposite two established hits, NBC's Bonanza (1959), and Perry Mason (1957) on CBS, and never overcame its competition. It barely lasted two seasons before cancellation.
