The Name of the Game is an American television series starring Tony Franciosa, Gene Barry, and Robert Stack that ran from 1968 to 1971 on NBC, totaling 76 episodes of 90 minutes. It was a pioneering wheel series, setting the stage for The Bold Ones and the NBC Mystery Movie in the 1970s. The show had an extremely large budget for a television series.
The series was based on the 1966 television movie Fame Is the Name of the Game, directed by Stuart Rosenberg and starring Tony Franciosa. The Name of the Game rotated among three characters working at Howard Publications, a large magazine publishing company — Jeff Dillon (Franciosa), a crusading reporter with People magazine (before there was a real-life People magazine); Glenn Howard (Gene Barry, taking over for George Macready, who had originated the role in the earlier film), the sophisticated, well-connected publisher; and Dan Farrell (Robert Stack), the editor of Crime magazine. Serving as a common connection was newcomer Susan Saint James as Peggy Maxwell, the editorial assistant for each.
The show had a striking, imaginative rotating opening graphic, which in turn put up the three lead actors with their faces forming out of repeatedly appearing collages of their names, each slightly differing, along with a jazzy, pulsating theme by Dave Grusin. This graphic originally put the featured lead first, then the other two as 'starring in...', Franciosa set on pale blue background, Barry on red, and Stack on green. All three leads were thus depicted, although usually only one then actually appeared. Each episode then carried individual credits with the featured lead name 'in' followed by title and guest cast. When the show ran on Encore Mystery channel (1996–99), a single 'Stack-Barry-Franciosa' opening graphic was shown on every episode.
9 Of The Dreamiest Baes From Classic Literature
He looked like the love thoughts of women...

We have all, at one point or another, fallen hard for a fictional character. We’ve flipped furiously through pages to find out if our hunky hero would end up escaping the lips of a lusty dragon. We’ve gasped as he kissed the wrong person, then quietly cheered as he kissed the right one, all the while knowing that the truest of true right ones was us, the reader, trembling at the other end.
Unlike our IRL crushes, with our literary boos, we’re given the omniscient gift of perspective, which helps us swoon not only for their actions, but for their intimate thoughts as well. Even if they treat people poorly or make bad decisions, we know that in their heart of hearts, they’re good and if not wholly good, at least beautifully complicated.
That being said, we’re bringing you some of the dreamiest baes from classic literature. Our picks run the gamut from admirably loyal to passionately reckless to ruggedly handsome to charmingly witty and everything in between. They may not be perfect, but we can’t help but love ‘em all the same.

Atticus Finch
To Kill a Mockingbird
Atticus Finch is the wise, kind, caring, strong, handsome daddy of our dreams. He’d make an excellent anything (father, lawyer, neighbor, pal), but we can’t help but fantasize about what a wonderful and loving life partner he’d make. Especially if he promised to dish out meaningful and thought-provoking platitudes like this:
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.
