Reed Hadley stars as Captain Braddock of Racket Squad Each episode of this classic cop show was inspired from actual police files on cases involving con men. RACKET SQUAD was nominated for two Emmys. The show aired from 1950 to 1953. The series was filmed at Hal Roach Studios in Culver City, California and was sponsored by Cigarette manufacturer Philip Morris, which is why there was a pack of the sponsor's brand on Braddock's desk at the beginning and end of the episode, as well as occasional scenes of him or other characters "lighting up" a good old American cigarette. The Racket Squad Collection is now available from the Nostalgia Merchant. This collection includes 32 episodes on 8 DVDs in chronological order. Many of these shows have been previously released by other distributors in piecemeal fashion. This collection includes all of the episodes known to be available at this time. Check it out now at the Nostalgia Merchant.
