+ The Lineup radio show is an American police drama which aired on CBS radio from 1950 to 1953 and on CBS television from 1954 to 1960, possibly in response to NBC's hit Dragnet.

The radio version depicted the investigations of Lieutenant Ben Guthrie and Sergeant Matt Grebb, detectives in the police force of an unnamed "great American city." Bill Johnstone, one of several actors to play The Shadow on radio, portrayed Guthrie, while Grebb was played by Wally Maher.-WikiPedia Click here to read more about Lineup

LINEUP

I had been listening to episodes of The Line Up. I think I had heard maybe a third of them, when someone in this group mentioned that Howard McNear ("Floyd the Barber") was in almost every episode, in some small role or other. I had not ever noticed that, before then. But now, I can't not notice it. There are some episodes, where he played 3 different roles!
