The F.B.I.: The Hiding Place (1966)
Originally Episode One, Season One
This is the original Episode One, Season One that was not broadcast until the last few years. Exteriors for this episode were filmed in East Irvine, CA (Irvine Ranch in Orange County, California) during summer of 1965. Original title was "Will The Real Traitor Please Stand Up". The controversy was cover story of Nov 20-26 TV Guide. Until this series came into recent syndication in the last two years, this episode was likely never broadcast. It was not broadcast during the original 1965 season nor do I believe subsequent seasons. It is available as the last episode of Season One on DVD and called "The HIdden Place" versus "The Hiding Place" on the DVD disk. Strong story line and apparently close enough to a real case that the Japanese American community raised concerns at the time it was filmed. I do not believe it aired in 1966 as indicated in some records. This would have been a very strong start to The F.B.I. series had it been the premiere episode as intended.
