The Name of the Game was a groundbreaking television series that was unique for its time. It was one of the first shows to feature a rotating cast of lead actors, with Tony Franciosa, Gene Barry, and Robert Stack each starring in their own episodes. The show also had an ensemble cast of supporting actors, many of whom went on to become stars in their own right.
The Name of the Game was a high-concept drama that tackled a variety of topics and genres. Each episode was a self-contained story, often with a twist ending, featuring characters from the world of journalism, entertainment, and politics. The show was also noted for its use of cutting-edge technology, including split-screen effects and location shooting.
Despite its ambitious scope, The Name of the Game struggled to find an audience during its initial run. However, the show has since gained a cult following and is recognized as one of the most innovative and daring dramas of its time. Its influence can be seen in subsequent television series such as The West Wing and House of Cards.
