From your comments above re serialized media I'd be interested in your take on the Dresden Files (with the caveat that there's a RPG based on this currently in play-test) and Ed McBain's 87th Precinct novels.
And what about all those great Republic and other "Saturday Morning at the Cinema" serials like Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Manhunt on Mystery Island, Undersea Kingdom, Daredevils of the Red Circle, etc.?
As for TV and film...hmmm...Tales of the Gold Monkey? The Prisoner? Magnum P.I.? Kolchak the Night Stalker?
[And what about that largely un-mined media territory such as anthology series like The Twilight Zone or The Other Limits for fast one-off gaming sessions?]
If you extend your media to include radio serials, there's always such items as "I Love A Mystery" and the 5-part "Yours Truly Johnny Dollar" serials.
