About The Outsider

The Outsider is a drama TV series that premiered on NBC on September 18, 1968. It has 1 season and 26 episodes so far and has ended. The latest episode, Season 1 Episode 26 "Through a Stained Glass Window", aired on April 16, 1969.

The Outsider was the story of David Ross, a go-it-alone private investigator who's always where the action is. Darren McGavin played Ross, a man living in an off-beat, always-dangerous world. The series aired for one season on NBC and was a precursor of sorts to The Rockford Files in that it featured a loner private detective who had previously done time in prison for a crime he didn't commit and who never quite fit into a rapidly changing environment.
