Case Of Bugs Moran (Aired October 18, 1947) Part 2 of 3
The radio series was adapted for DC Comics and Big Little Books. Universal Pictures made a very popular Gang Busters (serial) movie serial in 1942, starring Kent Taylor and Ralph Morgan. The 1952 Gang Busters TV series was reedited into two feature films, Gang Busters (1955, with Myron Healey as Public Enemy No. 4) and Guns Don't Argue (1957, with Healey as John Dillinger). The Gangbusters TV version ended its telecast with a photo of one of the nation's most wanted lawbreakers, resulting in the apprehension of many major criminals. During the fall of 1952 Gangbusters averaged an unheard of 42 rating, garnering virtually all the audience available in its time slot. Nevertheless, this police anthology series left the air in December 1952, making it probably the highest rated program ever to be cancelled in the history of television.
