This show was in the top ten from the week it debuted until it went off the air. The only reason it was cancelled is because the star of the series, Tony Musante, quit.

One episode script written for the series was rejected by ABC. That rejected script featured a character who would eventually become the main character in a hit series for NBC. The character was a private investigator named Rockford. The NBC series was eventually called "Rockford Files, The" (1974)

The show was based on a real-life New Jersey cop named David Toma (I) and every episode featured a cameo from Toma himself.
