This series had a great pedigree, having been created by three of the most prolific and successful producers in TV.
And it had Dennis Weaver,plus Pat Hingle, who always delivered in type.
However, the network put it up against M*A*S*H*, then later tried to save it by moving back an hour to 10 PM against the very popular Lou Grant.
Plus it was a mid-season replacement, and they don't get the ad build-up that the new fall shows do. So Stone never got a chance to let an audience find it.
What a shame.
