As viewers reveled in being transported to shadowy underworlds, creative geniuses emerged in the forms of Jack Webb ("Dragnet"), Desi Arnaz ("The Untouchables"), and Bruce Geller ("Mannix" and "Mission: Impossible").

Barbara Bain and Martin Landau share the secrets behind the innovative hit "Mission: Impossible"; Peter Falk’s friends and colleagues recall the evolution of his "Columbo" character; and James Garner and series creator Stephen J. Cannell recount the success of the "The Rockford Files."
