1975至1976年的电视连续剧《艾勒里·昆恩》由曾负责《神探可伦坡》的William Link 和Richard Levinson 负责编写，并模仿昆恩的早期风格。昆恩由吉姆·赫顿出演，并由大卫·韦恩饰演其父，上演1940年代纽约的探案故事。Tom Reese演出昆恩巡官的助手，是系列电视系列剧的固定班底（这个角色曾经在小说、广播与电视节目中出现，但在此电视系列剧出现前未被安排成主要的配角）。电视系列剧的最后，总是会有“向读者挑战”的宣言,大侦探昆恩走进事件现场，并邀请观众亲自去破解谜团。许多媒体都认为这个系列的作品是艾勒里昆恩为电视节目带来的最佳产物。2位编剧后来更是因《神探可伦坡和艾勒里昆恩电视剧》（Columbo and Ellery Queen TV series）的贡献获得1979年爱伦坡特别奖。The third TV adaptation of the adventures of super-sleuth Ellery Queen, this time set during the 1940s. Queen was a mystery writer who assisted his father, a detective with the New York Police Department, in solving murders. Sgt. Velie was Inspector Queen's assistant and Simon Brimmer a rival detective. Queen's methods were arcane and intellectual rather than action oriented, and he always astounded his father by arriving at a correct solution by purely deductive reasoning. In this version, just before he revealed his solution to the crime, Queen always turned to the camera and asked the TV audience if they had figured out the identity of the killer yet -- they had all the clues -- because he was about to reveal the correct killer as we met the entire slew of suspects in one room for the ending.
