The Dick Powell Show was a star-studded anthology featuring Powell as host and frequent star. The 1961-63 anthology presented even more pilots than Powell's Zane Gray--over a dozen in two years--yielding the newspaper series Saints and Sinners in 1962, and Burke's Law the following year (among the unsold projects was Luxury Liner--produced by future Love Boat creator Aaron Spelling). One of television's few remaining anthologies, the Powell show received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Dramatic Achievement for both its seasons on the air.
