Mr. District Attorney

I have only the vaguest memory of the TV show, but have recently listened to many dozens of the radio shows, all from the early 1950's. The stories are decent and entertaining, and David Brian, who played the D.A. on both radio and TV has a most interesting voice.

My one issue is with the basic premise of the show. Perhaps I've been spoiled by shows like Law and Order, but this D.A. never enters a courtroom! He spends all his time out chasing and apprehending the bad guys with the aid of his sidekick, a copy named Harrington. A better name for this program might have been something like "Police Chief", because no part of any episode includes a trial in these stories.
