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 The Fugitive (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.
