The NBC Mystery Movie is an American television anthology series produced by Universal Pictures and broadcast on NBC from 1971 to 1977. Devoted to a rotating series of mystery episodes, it was sometimes split into two subsets broadcast on different nights of the week: The NBC Sunday Mystery Movie and The NBC Wednesday Mystery Movie.
The NBC Mystery Movie was a "wheel series", also called "umbrella program", that rotated several programs within the same period throughout each of its seasons. During the first season of 1971–72, three detective dramas were broadcast on Wednesday nights from 8:30 to 10:00 p.m. in the Eastern and Pacific time zones (7:30–9:00 p.m. Central and Mountain time).
