The two-hour pilot movie, titled "Man on the Outside," didn't air until June 25, 1975, almost a year and a half after the cancellation of the series. Ben Murphy does not appear in the pilot, which has a plot that is identical to the plot of the pilot for "Barnaby Jones." Wade Griffin's son is murdered, and Griff goes after the man who killed him.
