Police Surgeon

Dr. Simon Lark / ... (31 episodes, 1971-1974)

Jack Albertson was so disgusted at the cheap, slipshod way this show was produced that he actually pulled out of it halfway into its first season, after seeing a particularly bad set of rushes. Reminded that he still had a contract, he said, "After what I just saw up there, no jury in the world would convict me." He received his release shortly thereafter.

The budget was so low that the company couldn't afford trailers for the cast, who had to change clothes in the bushes.
