It's said that the title of the series, 21 Jump Street was derive from
the street the Chapel was on and the fact that most of the characters on
the show were 21 years old.

A while back, I remember coming across some info. about a 1959 TV series
with a very similar title: "21 Beacon Street".
Some sources I had found at the time said it's about private detective(s),
hired to solve crimes - almost undercover - without regular police knowing
about it.

Where can I find more information on 21 Beacon Street?

Could it just be a coincidence that the two titles are so similar?
