I believe that Jack Webb had a M-12 Airweight with squiggle (Speed) hammer some of the time, and Ben Alexander had a pre-M-15 Combat Masterpiece. Friday(Webb) did have a Colt early on.

Going from memory, but I don't recall a Chief Special. However, a number of cop and PI shows of the 1960's featured those.

"Bourbon Street Beat" also had the PI's keeping a 3.5 inch M-27 in an office safe, for their riskier cases.

Most watching TV can't tell a M-36 from a snub M-10.
