Most Wanted is an American crime drama series shown on ABC from October 16, 1976 until August 20, 1977. It stars Robert Stack, Jo Ann Harris, Shelly Novack, and Hari Rhodes. This program marks the reunion of series star Stack with noted producer Quinn Martin, as the two had worked together previously on the series The Untouchables.

This is one of only three series from QM Productions not to have an announcer reading out or accompanying the opening credits (the others are Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected and A Man Called Sloane).

Overview

The series focused on an elite task force of the LAPD named "Most Wanted". The Mayor of Los Angeles, Dan Stoddard (Hari Rhodes), created the force to concentrate exclusively on criminals on the mayor's most-wanted list. In bringing them together, Mayor Stoddard specified "As few people as possible", and that their motto would be "Brainpower instead of manpower- focus instead of force". Captain Linc Evers (Stack) headed the force accompanied by his two assistants (Harris and Novack) who used undercover tactics to bring down the city's most wanted and dangerous criminals. The series' original pilot featured a fourth member, played by Tom Selleck, but he was not used for the series. Also actress Leslie Charleson was also in the series pilot as the female member of The Most Wanted Unit, but was replaced in the series by Harris.

According to Robert Stack, in his autobiography, Straight Shooting,[1] Most Wanted had become a Top 10 Nielsen ratings hit, (#7) but was cancelled by ABC due to network politics after one season.

The theme song was composed by Lalo Schifrin and later used by the Sunburst Band for the house song "New York City Woman."

DVD release

CBS Home Entertainment is planning a DVD release of The Complete Series sometime in 2017 in region 1. This is a Manufacture-on-Demand (MOD) release, available from online sellers such as Amazon.com and their CreateSpace MOD program.
