Did You Know?
| Trivia | Jack Webb had intended to do another revival of the series in 1982. However, because of Harry Morgan's commitments to both M*A*S*H (1972) and its spin-off AfterMASH (1983), he didn't sign on for the proposed remake. Webb then decided to cast Kent McCord in the role of Friday's new partner; either as Jim Reed (the character McCord played on Adam-12 (1968)) or as a new character altogether. Unfortunately, those plans never came to fruition due to Webb dying of a massive heart attack in December 1982. See more » |
| Goofs | Harry Morgan, the actor cast to play Officer Gannon, stood only 5'6", and would have failed the height requirement for LAPD officers at that time. See more » |
