This was a great series. However, it occurs to me that they probably could not make a series such as this today. Think about it: every episode was filmed on location in a different part of the country, to which a different set of actors had to be brought, and for which an original script had to be written that had to be relevant to that particular location. Such a television series would probably be prohibitively expensive to produce nowadays. Added to which, consider that it was necessary for the two principal actors (Martin Milner and George Maharis) and the rest of the crew to remain "on the road" for long periods of time while the series was in production.
