What happens

Markham is an American crime drama series starring Ray Milland, which aired on CBS from May 2, 1959, until September 22, 1960, following Gunsmoke on Saturday nights (later appearing on Thursday nights at 9:30 P.M. Eastern, after January 1960), under the sponsorship of the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company. At the beginning of the second season, Liggett & Myers became an alternate sponsor, succeeded by Renault when the series moved to Thursdays. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
