Kim Basinger was a popular figure during this period, and this gave Dog and Cat some edge when it came to viewers being eager to watch. Basinger was a supermodel of the day and was trying to make her way into the acting industry. The actress went on to do well for herself in other movies, but from the look of things, Dog and Cat was not the one to make it happen big for her. After all, the show only lasted for six episodes.

The movie saw Basinger acting alongside Lou Antonio as partners in the Los Angeles Police Department. The series was popular for taking on some unusual cases and also featured an interesting storyline. However, seeing a female lead in the crime-solving case film, many people criticized it for trying to be like Charlie’s angels.

Production Cost: $50,000 Per Episode (Depending on Inflation)
If you haven’t noticed something unique about tv shows back in the days, we will help you out – private detective series were a major hit. Though they are still popular now, the 1960s saw major channels searching and lobbying to get a good show that would be intriguingly successful. Johnny Midnight was all about a New York City-based detective whose character was played by Edmond O’Brien.

The show somehow paid tribute and respect to the other films that were released before it as it featured a film-noir setting and was also done with some narration. Midnight, throughout the film, could be seen going after perps, who didn’t care to obey the rules and guidelines set out in Times Square and Broadway. Jack Chertok was the producer for this film, and after a good run, he channeled another film on this list, My Favorite Martian.
