Many people would always be fascinated to see Rod Cameron as he was a popular face for TV shows in the 50s and 60s. As such, when Coronado 9 came out, the production team was looking for a major hit. The show featured Cameron, playing the character of Dan Adams, who used his US Navy experience to solve crime and mystery cases.

Even though there was much hype about the show being released, it seemingly fell short of the true goal they intended to achieve. The show only managed to go to 39 episodes, and maybe it was due to a few personal issues going on in Cameron’s life. Interestingly, during the filming of the show, Cameron divorced his wife and married her mother. This pushed the director to label him the bravest man he has ever come across.
