In January 1946, The Fat Man premiered on ABC.  We're celebrating the anniversary with an hour of J. Scott Smart as Dashiell Hammett's extra large sleuth.  First, it's the series' debut episode, "The 19th Pearl," originally aired on ABC on January 21, 1946).  Then, we'll hear "A Window for Murder" (originally aired on ABC on October 3, 1947).
