Some of the scripts of the television series ''[[The Adventures of Ellery Queen]]'' (1950–1951 on [[DuMont Television Network|Dumont]], 1951-1952 on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]) were written by [[Helene Hanff]], best known for her 1970 novel ''[[84, Charing Cross Road]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Fox |first=Margalit |date=1997-04-11 |title=Helene Hanff, Wry Epistler Of '84 Charing,' Dies at 80 |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/04/11/arts/helene-hanff-wry-epistler-of-84-charing-dies-at-80.html |access-date=2023-09-18 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Shortly after the series began, [[Richard Hart (actor)|Richard Hart]], who played Queen, died and was replaced by [[Lee Bowman]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=CTVA Crime - "The Adventures of Ellery Queen" (Dumont/ABC) Richard Hart/Lee Bowman |url=https://ctva.biz/US/Crime/ElleryQueen_1950-52.htm |access-date=2023-09-25 |website=ctva.biz}}</ref>

In 1954, Norvin Productions produced the [[Broadcast syndication|syndicated]] series ''Ellery Queen, Detective'' with [[Hugh Marlowe]] as the title character. Episodes from this series were broadcast on many local American stations and in [[UK|United Kingdom]] between 1954 and 1959 under various titles like ''Mystery Is My Business'', ''Crime Detective'' and ''New Adventures of Ellery Queen.''<ref>{{Cite web |title=CTVA Crime "Ellery Queen, Detective" (TPA)(1954) starring Hugh Marlowe |url=https://ctva.biz/US/Crime/ElleryQueen_1954.htm |access-date=2023-09-25 |website=ctva.biz}}</ref>

[[George Nader]] played Queen in [[NBC]]'s ''[[The Further Adventures of Ellery Queen]]'' (1958–1959), but was replaced by [[Lee Philips]] in the final episodes.<ref>{{Cite web |title=CTVA US Crime - "The Adventures of Ellery Queen" (NBC)(1958-59) George Nader/Lee Phillips |url=https://ctva.biz/US/Crime/ElleryQueen_1958-59.htm |access-date=2023-09-25 |website=ctva.biz}}</ref>

[[Peter Lawford]] starred as Ellery Queen in the 1971 television film ''[[Ellery Queen: Don't Look Behind You]] (''a loose adaptation of the 1949 novel ''[[Cat of Many Tails]])''. [[Harry Morgan]] played Inspector Richard Queen in this film, but he is described as Ellery Queen's uncle (perhaps to account for the fact that Morgan was only eight years Lawford's senior, or to account for Lawford's British accent).<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.org/details/ellery-queen-dont-look-behind-you | title=Ellery Queen Don't Look Behind You (1971) }}</ref>

The 1975 television movie ''Ellery Queen'' (aka ''Too Many Suspects'', a loose adaptation of the 1965 novel ''The Fourth Side of the Triangle'') led to the [[Ellery Queen (TV series)|1975&ndash;1976 television series of the same name]] starring [[Jim Hutton]] in the title role with [[David Wayne]] as his widowed father Richard Queen. This series was developed by [[Richard Levinson]] and [[William Link]], who later won a [[Edgar Award|Special Edgars Award]] for creating it and ''[[Columbo]]''.<ref>''The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network TV Shows, 1946–present'', Brooks and Marsh, 1979, {{ISBN|0-345-28248-5}}</ref> It was done as a period piece set in New York City in 1946–1947.<ref>Multiple sources:
