 "Route 66" was broadcast by CBS from 1960 to 1964, and, like "Naked City", followed the "semi-anthology" format of building the stories around the guest actors, rather than the regular cast.The episode "Sweet Prince of Delancey Street" (1961) was in 1997 ranked #93 on "TV Guide"'s "100 Greatest Episodes of All Time".Filmed on location in New York City, the series concerned the detectives of NYPD's 65th Precinct, although episode plots usually focused more on the criminals and victims portrayed by guest actors, characteristic of the "semi-anthology" narrative format common in early 1960s TV (so called by the trade paper "Variety").
