The Shadow
(US, mystery program)
 The Shadow debuted on September 26, 1937 with Orson Welles as Lamont Cranston and Agnes Moorehead as Margo Lane. Bill Johnstone succeeded to the role, then Bret Morrison. John Archer had the role very briefly.

Despite all the guns, bombs, rays, murder, blackmail, and villains of all sizes and stripes, it was television that eventually killed The Shadow. On December 21, 1954, Bret Morrison and Gertrude Warner stood before a mutual microphone to transcribe the final episode. ‘’Murder By the Sea’’ was aired five days later, and The Shadow’s mocking laugh was heard for the last time by a generation of people who had grown up with the character. First episode: September 26, 1937, ''The Death House Rescue.'' Last episode: December 25, 1954: ''Murder By The Sea.'' Citations:
