Need a fix for your Castle craving in between new episodes? Then you'd do well to enter the Ellery Queen Mysteries DVD contest, All 22 uncut and unedited episodes of the classic NBC series starring Jim Hutton as the titular writer who helps his detective father (David Wayne) solve mysteries that "baffle the New York City police force". That sounds really familiar, doesn't it Castle fans? Well, now you can win the complete set.
With methods that were arcane and intellectual, rather than action-oriented, Ellery Queen always managed to astound his father and the force by arriving at the correct solution to a crime by purely deductive reasoning. And, in keeping with this approach, the signature of this celebrated crime series was to engage the audience in figuring out whodunit. At the end of each show, just before Queen revealed his solution to the episode’s mystery, the entire slew of suspects were gathered in one room, with Queen turning directly to the camera and asking the TV audience if those watching had figured out the identity of the killer – they had all the clues – because he was about to reveal the murderer.
