The Roaring 20's is an American drama television series that aired on ABC from October 15, 1960, until January 20, 1962.
Dorothy Provine stars as Pinky Pinkham, the singer at the Charleston Club, in all forty-five episodes of this hour-long series that deals with newspaper reporters covering crime and gangsters for the fictitious New York Record in the 1920s, such as Scott Norris (Rex Reason), Pat Garrison (Donald May), Duke Williams (John Dehner), and copy-boy Chris Higby (Gary Vinson). Mike Road played police Lieutenant Joe Switoski. Other stars were James Flavin as Robert Howard and Louise Glenn as Gladys, who appear in thirty-three and thirty episodes, respectively.
In its first year, The Roaring 20's faced competition from the Top 20 programs, Perry Mason on CBS and Bonanza on NBC. In the 1961-1962 season, however, Bonanza was shifted to Sunday, and the western series, Tales of Wells Fargo, moved into the time slot opposite The Roaring 20's.
In 1960 Warner Bros. Records issued the mono soundtrack album The Roaring 20's to accompany the series. Musical direction was by Sandy Courage.
