Mr. and Mrs. North was a popular radio mystery series that aired on CBS from 1942 to 1954, featuring amateur detectives Jerry and Pam North, played by Joseph Curtin and Alice Frost. Created by Frances and Richard Lockridge, the show revolved around the couple, who lived in Greenwich Village and were not professional detectives. Instead, they were an ordinary couple who stumbled across murders every week for 12 years. Their witty exchanges, humorous domestic environment, and ability to solve cases captivated nearly 20 million listeners during its run. The show received the first Best Radio Drama Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America in 1946. The Mr. and Mrs. North series also extended to 26 novels, a Broadway play, a motion picture, and several television series.
