I realized that you also had a question about the Charlie Chan TV show from the 1950s. The show was called "The New Adventures of Charlie Chan," and starred J. Carrol Naish as Chan and James Hong as his Number One Son. All 39 episodes are still available, I believe, from Old Time Radio, U.K. We have a link to their site in our Links section.

Rush, Do You Know Who Owns The Rights To The TV Series Or Is It In The Public Domain?
Rush is correct. Warner Brothers holds the rights to the final 11 Chan films made by Monogram Pictures. Warners has announced a set of Monogram Chan's early in 2010 made from the original nitrate negatives. They promise that the films will look great. Whether they are including all the films or some I don't yet know as Warners hasn't yet announced the titles but you won't have long to wait. Steve O. of this board told me in a post that studios usually announce titles around 90 days before release so stay tuned.
