Adams intended this to be a socially conscious series about a tough cop who is uncomfortable having an African-American partner. But the premise was changed by NBC.

Godfrey Cambridge was originally cast as Det. Robinson but left during rehearsals due to creative differences with Don Adams.

Though denied by Don Adams, his character was almost exactly like Maxwell Smart from his previous series, Get Smart (1965).
