The budget for the pilot episode was $6 million.
NBC, CBS and ABC all bid on the rights to this series and CBS won the bid.
Mykelti Williamson previously appeared in Free Willy (1993) alongside Richard Riehle who had a minor role in the film adaption of O Fugitivo (1993).
Unlike the original TV series, in which episodes were mostly shot in California, the remake was filmed wherever the episodes were set (or for the exteriors, at least) - for example, New Orleans, Atlantic City, Philadelphia etc., unfortunately, made the show very expensive to produce and this is believed to have been a factor in its cancellation.
