It was a summer replacement series, but was supposed to continue.
But, before all the deals were struck, Frank Converse took a role in a cop show.
So, the series ended before we found out what was really going on.
The writers & producers, much later, described what the whole story was and how it was supposed to end.
Would have been awesome to see the episodes that explained everything.
My dad and I both loved that show for the 10 or 12 weeks it was on.
