Quinn Martin Productions

Quinn Martin Productions

Quinn Martin Productions was not two guys – one named Quinn and one Martin. He was one guy who worked at Desi-Lu, married Madelyn Pugh (one of the head writers of all the I Love Lucys) and started his own production company. He owned at least one hour of network primetime from 1959 to 1980. His success can be seen in his leading men. You always heard the credit at the end of his shows “A Quinn Martin production”. Here’s the complete rundown of his great shows
