Show Summary

Premiered: --
Status: Ended

This was a series about a family of confidence tricksters whose main purpose was to take things from the extremely wealthy, mostly the ones who stopped at nothing in making their fortunes. The main members of the family were all cousins and included an Englishman (David Niven), a Frenchman (Charles Boyer) and an American (Gig Young). They would each generally take the lead role in an episode and occasionally the others would have small parts to add to the other's story. Assisting the lead actor each week was Robert Coote's character, the only real constant throughout the series.''''The music was done by Nelson Riddle who also did the music for Batman. This is only noted because many musical cues seem similar between the two series.''''Near the end of the series, a new American cousin was introduced and was played by Larry Hagman. Since the series wasn't picked up for another season, Larry was free to move onto I Dream of Jeannie, which started the following season.''

A comedy-thriller series about con-artists which unfortunately proved, in the long run, to be itself something of a con-trick - on the viewers.

"Good"

By orswel, Sep 29, 2011 Report Abuse

This show is ultimately a rather sad memory - it began so well, but fell into an irreversible decline before the half-way mark; its last episodes were very poor. It was advertised as starring David Niven, Charles Boyer and Gig Young, but really it only starred the latter two. Niven, the biggest and busiest star name, was the chief reason most people tuned in, probably, but he only starred inthree of the thirty episodes. Three out of thirty - outrageous! (He had bit parts in another five.) There was also less of Boyer than there was of Young, the least famous of the leads. He was quite good in the series, but, still, one felt let down. Eventually, the show fell so far behind schedule that even Young had to quit to do a movie, and Larry Hagman was called in for the last two shows. Who was responsible for the way the show declined week after week, from such a bright start? Might it have been executive producer Thomas McDermott, whom some blame for the collapse of Four Star Productions, the company which made the show?moreless

"Great"

By Bichlmaier, Mar 25, 2011 Report Abuse

I was a pre-teen when this show came and went, but I loved it. Instead of the "Facts of Life" on DVD, I wish I could get "The Rogues" instead. I'm amazed I've thought about this show after all these years, but it was fun. My parents liked the actors on the program, legends all. It sported none less than Dame Gladys Cooper, quite the grand dame, as well as David Niven, the dashing, debonaire bon vivant everyone wanted to love. Charles Boyer was no slouch, either. I can picture these actors like it was yesterday. The scripts were frothy and fun, no one took anything too seriously, and it was enjoyable to watch. I doubt anyone under the age of 40 will recall this show, but I keep hoping that, one day, it'll make a DVD. I can dream!moreless
