[The original concept was for high-quality thoughtful rotating
drama series set in several prestigious professions -- doctors,
attorneys, a senator, and "protectors" (about a Police Chief and
District Attorney).
The most long-lasting of the four was the series "The Doctors" which
was originally named "Bold Ones -- The Doctors". It starred actors
E. G. Marshall, David Hartman and John Saxon; During its last season,
it was called "The New Doctors" when Robert Walden joined the cast
and John Saxon left;
The "Bold Ones -- The Lawyers" were played by Burl Ives, James Farantino
and Joseph Campanella;
The "Bold Ones -- The Senator" starred Hal Holbrook as an idealistic
U.S. Senator;
The "Bold Ones -- The Protectors" were played by Leslie Nielsen (who
later went on to star in the farcical "Airplane" movies) in the serious
role of a Chief of Police, and Hari Rhodes as a District Attorney.]
