What's on TV? Thursday, March 14, 1968



By now, I've done probably close to 30 TV Guides from Northern California, and never before have I remembered seeing a listing for a program called Assignment: San Francisco (10:00 p.m., KGO). In fact, I paid scant attention to it this week (after all, KGO is in San Francisco, so it could be some kind of public affairs program) until I noticed that it's hosted by Jake Ehrlich, the famed attorney who was the basis for the legal drama Sam Benedict. That made me stop and read the program description, and what do you know: it is an episode of Sam Benedict, just under a different title! I Googled "Assignment: San Francisco" and wasn't able to find anything—admittedly, I didn't look too hard for it—so I'm assuming it might have been a local version, especially considering Ehrlich's presence. Can you recall any other examples of syndicated shows being hosted by the real-life person who inspired the lead character?

  1. Around that time, reruns of another SF-based crime drama, 'The Lineup', were running in syndication(and locally on KPIX) as 'San Francisco Beat'. Obviously, the city's name was an attention-getter, especially for retitling a defunct series!
    Ehrlich's entry on Wikipedia notes that he gave Raymond Burr some 'coaching' for the role of Perry Mason(which has led to some sources incorrectly saying that Erle Stanley Garner actually based the character on a much younger Ehrlich,in the early 30s).

    1. I first started listening to the radio version of "The Lineup," and I've seen quite a few of the TV episodes. It is, I think, an underappreciated series. And yes, the syndicated title is a real grabber!
