Background
In the early 1960s, ABC aired a series of historical mini-series: Stormy Petrel (1960), The Outcasts (1961), The Patriots (1962), and The Hungry Ones (1963). The Purple Jacaranda, however, featured a then-contemporary setting. It was based on a 1958 radio serial.[2] Unlike the historical serials, which got largely positive response by viewers and critics, The Purple Jacaranda was a critical failure.
