("The Doctors": NBC Primetime, 1969 - 1972; "The New Doctors": NBC Primetime, 1972 - 1973; "The Lawyers": NBC Primetime, 1969 - 1972; "The Protectors": NBC Primetime, 1969 - 1970; "The Senator": NBC Primetime, 1970 - 1971) [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.]
