If there is something peculiar about this show, it’s the title. Originally, the show debuted on the 10th of July 1948 with the title Joe Canto, Private Eye. Such debut was made again but with a different title: Jeff Regan, Private Eye. Then finally, the show was listed as Jeff Regan, Investigator. What was more interesting is that, the newspaper eventually listed its name in all ways possible except Jeff Regan, Investigator. It’s often listed as either Regan, Jeff Regan, Jeff Regan Detective etc. and, the most interesting of all, people started referring it to as the Lyon’s/Lion’s Eye to the point that people search the internet with those keywords to look for Jeff Regan, Investigator. This might be attributed to the fact that, everyday, the host of the show opens it with the line: "I get ten a day and expenses...they call me the Lyon's Eye."

The story revolves around, Regan, who receives his assignment from a boss that he is not on friendly terms with. His boss was named Anthony Lyon, thus the emergence of the title, Lyon’s Eye. Jack Regan was played by Jack Webb and Anthony Lyon was voiced by Wilms Herbert.
