Information About

Burke's Law




In the original series, other characters were Detective Tim Tilson ( Gary Conway ), Detective Les Hart ( Regis Toomey ) and Sergeant Ames ( Eileen O'Neill ). In the second incarnation, Burke was assisted by his son, Peter ( Peter Barton ). The Revival , even more than the original program, was widely regarded as being largely Camp . The Nostalgic revival featured guest appearances by many of Barry's acting peers, many of whom were largely regarded as "has-beens", and most of whom seemed to fit in gleefully in the spirit of good fun that the show seemed to represent.

The show was very similar to Barry's previous show, '' Bat Masterson '', in which he had played the debonair dandy Bat Masterson .

The part of Amos Burke had originally been played by Dick Powell on an episode of '' Dick Powell Theatre '' in 1961 . The television series ''Burke's Law'' was produced by Powell's company, Four Star Television .
