The Bold Ones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bold Ones was the umbrella title for several television series. It was produced by Universal Television and broadcast on NBC from 1969 to 1973.
It was a wheel format series, a NBC programming approach also used by that network in series such as The Name of the Game and the NBC Mystery Movie[1]. During the four years of the series there were four segments:
- The Bold Ones: The New Doctors from 1969-1973 starred E.G. Marshall, David Hartman, and John Saxon (who was replaced by Robert Walden in the final season).
- The Bold Ones: The Lawyers from 1969-1972 starred Burl Ives, Joseph Campanella, and James Farentino.
- The Bold Ones: The Protectors from 1969-1970 starred Leslie Nielsen and Hari Rhodes as police officials.
- The Bold Ones: The Senator in 1970 starring Hal Holbrook and based on the TV movie A Clear and Present Danger.
The Lawyers was nominated for three Emmy Awards in 1972, winning one for its music and another for its direction[2]. The Senator, which lasted for only nine episodes[3], earned nine Emmy nominations in 1971, winning five, including best drama, best "continued performance" by an actor (Hal Holbrook), and outstanding achievement in writing, direction, and film editing[2].
The series was rerun on TV Land in 1999[citation needed].
