Meet McGraw

**Meet McGraw** is an American crime drama series that aired on NBC during the 1957-1958 season, sponsored by Procter & Gamble. The series stars Frank Lovejoy as the titular detective, McGraw, who is notably given no first name in the show. Produced by Desilu Studios, the series comprised 41 half-hour episodes and featured the iconic theme song "One For My Baby" by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer. **Meet McGraw** aired on Tuesday evenings at 9:00pm ET/PT, preceding **The Bob Cummings Show**. It faced competition from **Broken Arrow**, a Western series starring John Lupton, on ABC, and **To Tell the Truth**, a quiz show hosted by Bud Collyer, on CBS. Following its cancellation, the series was rerun as **The Adventures of McGraw** on ABC during the 1958-1959 season, but not in prime time. Several episodes, including "Mohave" and "Lady in Limbo," are available on DVD.
