Synopsis
The series stars Welsh actress Glynis Johns as Glynis Granville, a mystery writer. Keith Andes appeared as Keith Granville, Glynis' husband who works as a successful criminal defense attorney.[2] Together, the couple would attempt to solve various crimes. George Mathews co-stars as Glynis' friend, Chick Rogers, a retired police officer, who offers advice and solace in her writing.
Glynis faced competition from the third segment of the 90-minute western The Virginian on NBC and from Bill Cullen's The Price Is Right prime time game show on ABC.[3] The series was canceled after 13 episodes.
In 1965, when CBS brought the series back in reruns as a summer replacement for The Lucy Show, Glynis ranked #6 in the Nielsen ratings.[4]
