    Was that the show that had writing on the screen saying "Act II, Act III, etc" after adverts?

    streets had that too... great show, even if I was too young to fully understand it.

    I think Marlden spent time as a boxer in his youth.

    Football in high school apparently. Went straight into acting after and got noticed by Eli Kazan.

    I always liked Malden as the cheeky pickpocket in Hotel, though there are better roles to choose from - the Kazan-directed On The Waterfront and A Streetcar Named Desire to pick two. or even The Gunfighter with Gregory Peck, one of my old favourites as it cost half-nothing and wasn't half-bad.

    I always liked Streets of San Francisco as a kid (probably the first re-run). It wasn't quite the same after Michael Douglas was replaced by Apollo out of Battlestar Galactica though.

    Malden's likely to be one of the next reasonably big actors to die of natural causes so get that long sought-after autograph while he's still moving.

    Corrected

    Indeed they should have hit the cancel button once Douglas moved into movies.

    Just about all the Quinn Martins were done that way with a voice-over on the opening titles: Add to the list Cannon and The Invaders.

    I'm sure that Police Squad had this very much in mind, with the narrator always giving out a different title to the one that appeared on the screen.... :)

    Oh, and for anyone unfamiliar with U.S. TV presentation, the epilog would have been the final short segment after the last commercial break. Most shows of the time had this, even though it might not have been flagged on-screen as such.
