Martin wanted Christopher George to star in the series, but George had to decline, as he'd already committed to another series for that season, ''Series/TheImmortal''. Chris made a suggestion to the producer... hire Creator/BurtReynolds! He showed the producer some episodes of Reynolds' earlier cop series, ''Hawk'', which led Martin to cast the rugged actor in the new series. Additionally, the other two main roles were recast: Sgt. Wilentz would now be played by Norman Fell, and Richard Anderson took over the role of Chief Untermeyer. Ned Romero and Ena Hartman were the only holdovers from the movie.

The series only lasted for one season and was destined to be forgotten, when all of a sudden, Burt became a huge star with the one-two punch of the hit movie ''Film/{{Deliverance}}'' and a nude centerfold in ''Cosmopolitan'' magazine. Creator/{{CBS}}, sensing a huge opportunity, bought the rights to the series and ran it during the Summer of 1973, to huge ratings. Two years later, they ran it again, and with Reynolds now the top box-office draw in the country, the ratings were huge once again. A few years later, the Samuel Goldwyn Company acquired the rights to ''Dan August'' and spliced together several episodes to make TV-movies out of the series (Richard Anderson was brought in to shoot connecting footage). For a number of years, this was the only way to see any episodes of the series, until [=GetTV=] obtained the rights a couple of years ago. Additionally, VEI Entertainment released a DVD set containing the pilot film and all 26 episodes.
