Mr. Garlund, also known as The Garlund Touch, is a television drama broadcast on the CBS network in the United States that aired on Friday nights in the 1960-61 television season.
The show premiered on October 7, 1960. The six episodes of the show were broadcast on the CBS network Fridays 9–9:30 PM (EST). The name of the show was changed to The Garlund Touch on November 11, 1960, after the premiere of the fifth episode and before the premiere of the sixth episode in December. Repeats continued until January 13, 1961.
The show presented the adventures of Frank Garlund (played by veteran TV character actor Charles Quinlivan), a mysterious young financial wizard, whose only confidants were his Asian half-brother Kam Chang, and his foster-father Po Chang. Stories revolved around "Garlund's rise in the world of international business and intrigue", and the profund effect Garlund had on people's lives.
"This quirky light-hearted series from Paramount TV failed to catch on."
