Sea Hunt

Sta Actors: Lloyd Bridges

Total Seasons: 4
Production Cost: $40,000 Per Episode (Depending on Inflation)

It was pretty complicated when it came to underwater films and production and would cost quite a lot to cover. However, Sea Hunt stood out differently, and we can safely say that it still manages to portray what the genre was really trying to say even to this day. Lloyd Bridges played the lead role of Mike Nelson,, a freelance scuba diver and would readily be on call.

Viewers were inclined to watch as the show created an avenue for intriguing and immense details. The overall interest of the show kept viewers entertained,, which gave the show the edge in staying alive for four seasons. However, even though the show was quite popular, it met an abrupt end, and from the look of things, it was clear no future episodes would be released.

Released: November 2, 1978
Total Seasons: 1
Production Cost: $90,000 Per Episode (Depending on Inflation)

During the 1970s, David Cassidy was in the prime of his career after a successful run in The Partridge Family. He was a famous teen star and made his way through fame as he got older. After that show ended, the producer for the film Man Undercover thought he would be a great choice. He played an undercover cop named Dan Shay, and even though he was quite popular, he couldn’t manage to keep the show going.

Each episode that was released saw Shay coming forward as an undercover in a different case and would use passion to get to the center of the crime at hand. Sadly, even though he was popular, the character was not enough to keep viewers entertained and intrigued to watch. Executives who worked closely with the film were surprised to know many people were losing interest in the film. But, there was nothing that could be done to change the current situation. Because of this, the show only managed to go ten episodes.
