The Chevy Mystery Show, aka Sunday Mystery Hour, is an American television anthology series featuring a different mystery each week.[1] It was produced by the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) and Dinah Shore's production company Sewanee.[citation needed]
The program was broadcast on NBC from May 1960 to September 1960[1] as a summer replacement for The Dinah Shore Chevy Show[2] with Walter Slezak as host, except for the last three episodes, which had Vincent Price as host. The episodes with Slezak as host were re-run with the title Sunday Mystery Hour from July 1961 to September 1961[1] (sustained by various "participating" advertisers).[citation needed]
There were a total of 18 episodes. Featured actors included Robert Culp, Dane Clark, Agnes Moorehead, Richard Carlson, Janet Blair, and James Whitmore.[citation needed] A 1960 episode, "Enough Rope", was the first appearance of the fictional character Columbo, who would go on to star in his own show.[3]
