ABOUT THE UNTOUCHABLES RETROSPECTIVE
Praised for its quality and famous for its drama, The Untouchables television show (1959-1963) roared like the decade it portrayed in grand, theatrical style.

The Untouchables, was one of the best television series ever to be on television. Desilu productions really outdid themselves with this one.
Indeed-- it's one of two Desilus I've seen in full on DVD (the other of course being the first-ever Star Trek w/William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy et al.).
True and absolutely TRUE
Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball the original Hollywood powerhouse couple. Those were the day's
YEP
@@bmasters1981 XDñ
Did Y'all notice that the commercials were only 30 seconds long ? Unlike today when we are forced to endure 7 minutes of ads every 12 minutes of program !
LOL TRUE
Yep
We all would groan over how endless they seemed
Correct
Also notice how people don't act like total morons in them. Just hawk the product and get out.
I watched this show with my dad every week when I was a kid. Not one word was said between us until it over because we didn't want to miss anything . Walter Winchell made the PERFECT narrator.
gas was 25.9 back then.... remember that too?
Way before DVR's, nobody went anywhere at 9PM Thursday when this show aired. Everybody was addicted to it. Iwas a kid when this aired but now I can appreciate how good this series was.
Fond memories of the early sixties. We all watched every episode.
The opening theme was iconic. The stories were tight and the actors were some of the best in the business.
Timeless just Timeless!! We will never see programming like this again. Period!!
PERIODT !!
The Untouchables,was and still is one of the best entertainment shows. The actors, like Jack Klugman, Robert Stack, and Martin Landau were superb !!! Thankyou You Tube for showing this one !!! Brings back alot of memories watching the series with friends. Kevin Phoenix
George Tobias was in this show. He was Abner Kravitz, the hen pecked husband of nosy neighbor Gladys. She was the one who tells Abner about the shenanigans at the Stevens house on Bewitched.
Indeed-- I have it all on DVD, and have seen it all; it's one of the best purchases I have ever made. This edition (with the commercials of the time) makes it even better, because it reminds us all of when we had one commercial in any break, and then back to the show; nowadays, you can go on any channel on cable or satellite, and there'll be commercials galore; my father often complains about how there'll be only 5 min. of show, and 10 of commercials.
I totally agree, five stars.
Thanks for the comment! We agree and are celebrating the legacy of the series here and at theuntouchables.co. Make sure to follow along as we dive deep into that making of each season and the cultural impact of the program.
Agreed. Not very factual but extremely entertaining.
I'd forgotten how good this series was. Klugman is great here, as always, and Robert Stack nails it.
The special guest stars🌞 further enhance Stacks performance as a " G " man. Thru their portrayals as hard core Chicago street thugs😈-!!!
@@asullivan4047 Indeed. Yep! Stack was made for this part and the guests were awesome, and that's why it was a fantastic series. Interesting tha my 2 best mates are Martin Stack and Ray Sullivan, spooky!
Wow beautiful days !!! I was not born in 1959 but I was in 1961. I always remember my late father i was 9 years old and we used to watch the untouchables in Iran dubbed also in the american channel in english. I never forget those beautiful days and times and my god werent the commercials just magnificent. The untouchables for me by far is and always will be my favourite tv series, and every time I watch them , I close my eyes for a second and I know my dad is watching it with me, he loved it too
The Untouchables _and_ The Rifleman!
This series very clearly shows that the old saying that "When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns" is absolutely as true as can be!!!!!!!
Music themes during these 60's TV shows added so much to the drama and suspense
Watched all of unsolved mysteries now time to watch the untouchables to see how good of an actor Mr Stack truly was.
I just gained a new respect for Jack Klugman's acting.
"THE UNTOUCHABLES" Theme score was one of the BEST PRODUCED EVER !!!!!!!!
The "UNTOUCHABLES" , with WALTER WINCHELL narrating the series, Robert Stack and others made me feel privileged to be " let in" on something very adult.
That SAX in certain interludes , just BEYOND superlatives !!!!!!
I was born in 1950.The Twenties were not that far removed.
I am watching my Dad's era , his generation.
We agree, Joseph and thanks for your comments. Be sure to check out our episode recap here: theuntouchables.co/loophole/
Im watching my great Grand Father History from man to man merely watching the Clues from Guns
Those vintage commercials were an unexpected "extra"!
AT 76 --- DAMMN ROGHT !!!
I'm 67, I remember watching these when I was a kid, the commercials are hilarious!
🚬👶🏻🥃 HEY POP GO SIT IN YOUR ROCKING CHAIR 😂HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@@paulyricca3881 I'm out riding my Harley instead of a rocking chair, lmao!
Who wouldn’t want Dial with A T 7!!!!!! What’s A T 7?🤔😂😂😂
Man, the scene between Klugman and Landau is intense. The fact that neither of them blinks gives it a creepy subliminal edge.
The scene between Klugman and Stack is right up there too.
For me and my mom it was always The Untouchables, Dragnet, and Mission Impossible. those were the days! RIP Mom ❤❤❤❤
WOW what a special treat...actually seeing one of my favorite TV programs when i was a kid...never forget my grandmother letting me stay up and let me watch it with her. helluva treat since it came on at 10 o'clock on a SCHOOL NIGHT. !!! Whoo-Hoo...made me feel ' grown-up "...
Thursdays, 10pm(et).
And in that time looking back I am surprised I turned out all right. It would have been rated TV MA due to intense drama and violence. And also Walter Winchell was still relevant in the news. The 1960s were his last years of relevancy.
I love The Untouchables and I have every episode for all 4 years on DVD love this series
this is great to have this show again in my life and with the commercials makes it even better thanks for posting and i hope you post plenty more of these episodes
i love watching these old movies todays movies have nothing to offer no substance
TV commercials ? every single one of them has a black in it like their really half the population it;'s pathetic plus they can't act but we are forced to accept it
I agree about the original commercials being put back in I have always hated most commercials, but seeing the ones used with original broadcast while watching the full episode, is almost like going back in time and I can almost see myself sitting close to the old tube type tv eating my TV dinner. lol
One of my favorite shows as a teenager.
I used to stay up late on school nights watching the reruns until i got caught. Boy did i need eliot ness to come to my rescue.
Television s greatest FILM NOIR. One of the tightest shows ever produced.. Walter Winchell👍👍👍
Great Work! 52:10
Martin Landau & Jack Klugman...Can't beat that combo.
Jewish Jack Klugman ... THE BEST!
This was one of the best shows of ALL TIME. They do not make shows like this any more. Exceptional themes on by Nelson Riddle....Bruce Gordon as Frank "The Enforcer" Nitti...and Robert Stack as Ness...and who could forget the Golden voice of Walter Winchell???
We had the Untouchables in the UK a few days later when I was 8 years old. It was a great series. Nice to see the old American ads.
This is a true time capsule of tv. Love the original commericals with the network prints. Great work, thank you.
Thank you, Elliott!
@@TheUntouchablesTVShow you mean thank you. Elliott ness
I'd love to see more complete episodes of this show.
Gorgeous Robert Stack!
I like jack klugman because whoever the character he plays he puts passion into the part!!!!!!!
I've been going back and watching television programs that were popular then I was a kid. Well, one good thing I can say of modern anti-social media are opportunities to see programs with content and originality. Thank you for presenting these.
2024, same here as a senior.
The lamp on the table in the DermaFresh commercial is “milk glass” which was in style then we had it throughout the house in glassware, dishes, vases, ashtrays, candlesticks and just plain stuff.
Martin landau was a very good serious actor too,like watching shows and movies he played in also!!!!!!
I was 14 watching The Untouchables in 1966 now I am 69 still love this Tv Shows it was Big in New Zealand then
really ? in NZ?
@@legesupra4275 Yes in New Zealand why ??????
@@howlinblues like in australia?
how did you get it ? on VHS? or was there stylite back then ? ?
@@legesupra4275 What it was on Black and White TV ?????????
Yes big in Australia, watched it in the 50s and 60s as a you youth.
I loved this program when I was z as boy and I never missed it . I like the revolvers they carried. Model 10 smith&wesson 38 special caliber.
A great series never to replaced desilu had a great series we never missed every week thank you TH-cam for showing it
The Untouchables was a Classic. The music and Walter Winchell commentary is Awesome
Adds to the nostalgia of "The Untouchables" originality...
Yes. It was the. Best ! Mi also liked. The roaring. 20s.series.
The last part of the episode's epilogue at 53:10 is darkly ironic because when Walter Winchell (the narrator) died in 1972, only one person was there to mourn at his funeral...his daughter.
Winchell was downright evil. His downfall must've been a relief for so many people.
I have always been a huge fan of The Untouchables for years when I would see reruns as a kid. Thank you for showing this episode, Loophole, from November 16, 1961 on ABC-TV, with original commercials sure to bring back memories.
Reading the comments, which I love, seems the show brings back good memories for us all. Had the biggest crush on Stack as a young teenager and now as a great grand mother, still enjoy. Thanks for posting, making alot of people happy.
Gavin McCloud in this episode, he was bald when he was young. Thank you for this upload very much enjoyed.
Love the old commercials, especially in their natural settings. I wanted to be an Ad Man when I was a kid.
Who recognized the actor from the " rat patrol in the brylcreem commercial? I think his name is Christopher George. They had to start somewhere.
@@kennethmorris8593 Tom selleck started in Salem commercials
@@kathleenking47 Haha. Never too old to learn. Also he was very good in a movie from back in the day called " runaway" as I recall gene Simmons played the bad guy.
i agree my favourite was the dad two dad three dad
Love, love, love "The Untouchables!" I can't get enough of this show. Thank you so very much for posting. Blessings🙏

A star studded cast Martin Landau, Galvin Macleod and Oscar Madison himself, Jack Klugman
George Tobias appeared as a mobster. He was known for his role on Bewitched. He was Abner Kravitz, the hen pecked husband of Gladys Kravitz. She is the woman who sees a lot of mischief at the Stevens house.
tup. the Captain from " The Love Boat ".....!!
This first episode was star studded. Klugmans a legend.
From our archives comes the network print of "Loophole," which aired 60 years ago on November 16th. While the recording has a few flaws, it features the original broadcast commercials and the episode teaser for "Jigsaw." Be sure to subscribe for more exclusive Untouchables content!
This is outstanding. Makes every other crime drama look childish by comparison: e.g. the ones that start with a deal going down in a garage or warehouse, looking off (suspicious!), and next thing, men appear from out behind crates or cars --- and the guns are blazing! This is so much more interesting. If you upload another full
episode, will you mention it here? 🌞 Thanks.
Congratulations on bringing to us such a masterpiece.
great show.
Best tv drama show ever created. Hill street blues is a close second.
Thanks for the upload!
Just did!
In college every thursday night in the men's dorm we watched this show in the TV room.
Wow, I've lost all faith in humanity. I just found out Captain Stubing was once a Mafia hitman.
One of my favorite classic TV shows. An unexpected heel turn for Gavin Macleod.
My favorite FAVORITE !!
I was ten years old when this one was first broadcast. There was no way my grandmother would have let me watch something like this or watch it herself. I know it mostly from old reruns. But it still holds up, doesn't it? Thanks for letting me watch something I've missed. And those cheesy commercials ring all sorts of nostalgic bells.
Thank you for showing this video.
I remember watching "The Untouchables" with Grandpa Rennhack & my cousin Roy. Despite the protests from the "do-gooders", I can't remember Roy or anyone else I knew or myself wanting to be any of the bad guys!
Modern day we have the Unwatchables lol.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. Today's stuff just don't cut it 😌 😅
TheGolden Age of Television.
Love to see more full episodes.had no idea it was this violent in the 20s until I watched this show.loved the commercials.
30s
Yes it was called THE ROARING TWENTIES.
@@bohemoth1 At 2:50, "in the latter half of 1932..."
@@johnking2551
Yes it was the 1930s, but it reminds me of the ROARING TWENTIES. My grandparents have pictures of that era. Grandpa knew one of the oldest Calabrese Brothers.
Commander Koenig, Oscar Madison, Captain Stubbing, and Abner Kravitz. Couldn't asked for a cooler episode.
Love seeing the old commercials....that is so cool 😎! Good episode of The Untouchables! ❤ Love these shows! So good 👍!
@ 76+ I AGREE and the opt to FAST FORWARD!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL & MERRY CHRISTMAS 00:30
I've got 3 boxsets of this great series. Modern shows can't touch it. I especially like the ones with Bruce Gordon as the enforcer Frank Nitti. He's so cool and in control.
I remember watching this as a little kid, especially the commercials, which we re a walk down memory lane. Thank you for this!!!
The first thing that comes to mind when seeing this is all the time I spent at my best friend's house. We were inseparable second-graders, and her mom loved this series, in particular, Elliott Ness. As in our house, the TV seemed to always be on in the living room, background for everything else.
And now it's TH-cam.
What a treat!! I remember watching the Untouchables in the mid 70s. All the kids in the neighborhood would come over to watch. I LOVED the stories and the clothes! Unfortunately they yanked off because it was said it was anti Italian.
Forget the show, I love the commercials!!😂
I don't know about anyone else but I always smile and laugh when I shower, especially with dial!!...(with AT7)😂😂😂
Brings back so many memories of my childhood growing up in Scotland in the 1960,s,so many great tv shows back then even though we only had 3 channels and they stopped broadcasting usually not long after midnight.
Great show for its area Robert Stack was great as Elliot Ness.
It's Christmas Day evening and can't think of a better ending to the day than watching "the original untouchables" episode. Remember growing up watching the untouchables... don't think my dad ever missed an episode. Thanks for a great Christmas gift of an original untouchables. 👍🎄Subscribed.
I watched this series when it first aired. It’s great to see it just as it was presented, when America was great.
The commercial with "Brylcreem" hair lotion was the beginning of that actor's career, just can't remember his acting name. My older brother used that lotion.
Christopher George.
@@eddiefaccioni2453 Thank you. Out of curiosity your name/handle sounds familiar why?
@@drydesert8036 I wouldn't know. The surname is quite rare in North America. I did come across a comic book with the title of Max Faccioni. I would have liked to contact the creator to find out where he got that name.
Robert stack was awesome in this great show, n all the guest stars before becoming famous.
Im glad I'm here and found this gem of a gem .... ETSNTS
I love these old time TV shows that also include the commercials from the day. It's like traveling back in time, only with the tech to skip them if you want. The Untouchables was always one of my favorites. Elliot Ness and his crew, in three piece suits, snap brim Fedoras, hoping out of cars with their Tommy Guns, great TV. And let's not forget the excellent narration by the late great Walter Winchell.
Thank you, Greg! Be sure to check our episode recap here and stay tuned for more: theuntouchables.co/loophole/
This episode in particular, with its all star cast.
Well I loved these shows when I grew up in the 50s, had a big crush on Ribert Stack and as I am older, when I watch it I still have that same crush, shame on me. Thanks for posting these shows, very entertaining and the man who wrote the book must have been born late 1800s. It comes from a lawyer in America who wrote the book.
@@Jenifer_G Don't shame yourself for having a crush on Robert Stack! I too think he's quite a man...sexy voice, smart and so stylishly "put together" oh yeah! Not to mention, he's so "easy on the eyes!" 👀♥️🥰
When in Cleveland stop by Great Lakes brewery and see bulletholes in the bar related to Ness' time as City Safety Director.
YESSSSSSS LOVE THESE MOVIE'S .😄😄😄😄😄😄😄❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bring more episodes
KLUGMAN AND LANDAU. Unbelieveably Fantastic Stars!
My favorite show of all by time the writers were awesome
watched it every week and then in the 70's we had it in reruns in the boston area. i'm starting to watch it again on youtube, i blast the theme music all the time.
@@steveperry1344 Where did you find it on TH-cam, does it have an app? Thank you for your response.
@@thisisme3238 metv was showing it late night but that was several years ago.
@@steveperry1344 ty much appreciated 👍
Funny commercials love it! We grew up on The Untouchables 😎
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for uploading this gem! Enjoyed seeing those old ads, and a young Cloris Leachman, yowza.
Paul Picerni (agent Lee Hobson) joined the USAAF during World War II and served as a B-24 Liberator bombardier in the China-Burma-India Theater. He flew twenty-five combat missions with the 493rd Bomb Squadron of the 7th Bomb Group and received the Distinguished Flying Cross. He was part of a mission that attacked and destroyed the actual bridge made famous in the film, 'The Bridge on the River Kwai' (1957).
Great commercials
Also so few of them.
What a who's who of 1960-90 TV shows. (!)
Like The Highway Patrol, The Untouchables launched a LOT of careers.
Klugman and Landau were stellar.
I have the book, the one Ness wrote . It is still in print, and on the market. I was a baby when this was new, but I watched it during 1975, when it was in syndication on a local channel. I always liked Stack's voice, but had a crush on Paul Picerni. This was a very good show.
Commercials in the 60s were mad corny. But interesting to watch these days.
I loved this program. On Saturday night in Decatur Illinois where I used to live this program would come on after the news. I tried never to miss it.
We watched it at 10pm channel 61, out of Cleveland, in early Seventies.
I saw the show in syndication with my father. Good times. Thanks for sharing. Show more episodes with the old commercials, please.
As a young TV junki I loved the Untouchables from 59/60
I was just seven days old when this was broadcast
Great show.....great cast....Jack Klugman is so versatile! Love the commercials....the presenters were so convincing without a lot of gimmicks!
A Pre-Oscar Madison/Quincy Jack Klugman, and a Pre-Mission Impossible/Space 1999 Martin Landau.
I agree. Dial soap with the same slogan, and I'd definitely buy Brilcream if I thought it would get those results!
Thank you very much for sharing this program with us. I love this tv series. When I was a child I always watched this program every day at night. God bless you The Untouchables. Congratulation. P.S. I would like to watch another chapter soon. See you.
Love the old commercials too! I am watching this on TH-cam and I had to turn the volume down because Paul Winchell’s voice was just booming! Lol. I still remember the days when the show aired 1961.
That's Walter Winchell. He had a news program on radio for decades.
Paul Winchell was the one with the dummies remember Jerry Mahoney.
I STILL WATCH THE UNTOUCHABLES
Christmas Eve, kids are home laughing, some at church. Health is worse almost daily so attempting to enjoy The Untouchables and The Invaders one last time. Thanks for posting.
. . . well, hang in there, Gray .... .. . . .
Do you know "The Great Physician," Jim?
I always admired the late Robert Stack R.I.P. he was perfect for the role of Elliot Ness. I loved the way he carried him self on screen and off. I wish they could update the series
This is how every show should be uploaded. I remember those commercals from when I was a kid
What a great cast: Stack, Klugman, Landau, Macleod, Tobias, Picerni,, etc.. Terrific acting in this episode from 1961. Love Winchell's narration.
Love the commercials of that time. Excellent episodes.
Wow! What a cast!
great show today... a lot of talent!
Awesome! Even the commercials...
Loved, loved The Untouchables and Robert Stack was the perfect one to portray Elliot Ness may he R.I.P. He always had a strange persona that I admired a lot.
