Anecdotes

ABC had planned to introduce this show in a rather novel way by tying the introduction of this program into the end of The Fugitive (1963). The idea was for Clinton Judd to become Richard Kimble's defense attorney. ABC expected the conclusion of The Fugitive (1963) to be viewed by a large audience, which would have provided a big boost to the introduction of this new show. However, the shows were produced by different production companies, and Quinn Martin was not overly interested in idea, since he felt it might be a distraction from the much anticipated conclusion of his show.

Spoofed in Mad Magazine as "Jugg for the Defensive".

This was the television series theme, other than Star Trek (1966) to be composed by Alexander Courage.

Defense lawyer Percy Foreman was the inspiration for Clinton Judd.

During the 1968 to 1969 television season, this show, which aired on ABC Friday nights at 10:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific, was scheduled against Patrouille du cosmos (1966) on NBC. The theme songs for both shows were composed by Alexander Courage. In addition, both shows were cancelled after that season.
