The couple's cases were as apt to arise from their personal life as from his professional one (attending a charity event that is robbed, or finding a skeleton in the wall of their house after an earthquake).

The series emphasized the [=McMillans'=] marriage with a lighthearted spirit, putting to use Hudson's gift for light comedy (also seen in his sex comedies with Doris Day in the previous decade). Saint James, Schuck and Walker all left the series; the final season (with a name change to ''[=McMillan=]'') followed [=McMillan's=] life as a widower (Sally and their son having died in a plane crash), but the series was cancelled before a full complement of episodes was made.

The next season opens with no pregnancy, and no mention of any baby. Something similar happens in season 4. This time, the only mention is at the beginning of season 5 when Sally remarks that they will "try again". Otherwise, no mention was made of her pregnancy at all during season 4
