In looking something up about Robert Young, I happened to notice and read about this television series I knew nothing about. Does anyone else know anything about it?



Title Card for TV series "City of Angels," February through May, 1976.

Synopsis: Set in Los Angeles in the 1930's, this period detective series was patterned after the hit motion picture Chinatown. It concerned the exploits of Jake Axminster, an often broke but always free-wheeling private investigator who was not above stretching the law and his ethics to get the information he wanted. He keeps his office in downtown L.A.’s historic Bradbury Building, phone number OXford-8704. The office was run by a beautiful but daffy secretary who also ran a switchboard for call girls. A mid-season replacement, it was known more for it's period production design and vintage cars and fashions than for dramatic involvement and it was soon cancelled after one season.

(13 episodes. One of the episodes is titled "The House on Orange Grove Avenue.")
It starred Wayne Rogers and Elaine Joyce. --TVRage
