Answer: The F.B.I.
J. Edgar Hoover, who became Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1935, was allowed to supervise the scripts to ensure the series was maintaining its authenticity. The story lines were taken from real F.B.I. cases, though the stories were told using fictitious characters. "The F.B.I." also featured a segment called "most wanted", where at the end certain episodes the show's star, Efren Zimbalist, Jr., would talk directly to the T.V. audience, asking for help in the apprehension of some of America's most wanted fugitives. "The F.B.I." ran for nine seasons, 1965 to 1974, airing a total of 241 episodes.
