''The Bold Ones'' is the umbrella title for several television series. It was produced by Universal Television and broadcast on NBC from 1969 to 1973. It was a wheel format series, an NBC programming approach also used by that network in series such as ''The Name of the Game'' and the ''NBC Mystery Movie''.〔(The NBC Mystery Movie ) from the Museum of Broadcast Communications〕 ==Segments== During the four years of the series there were four segments, three of which rotated each season: * ''The Bold Ones: The New Doctors'' (1969–73) starred E.G. Marshall, David Hartman, and John Saxon (who was replaced by Robert Walden in the final season). * ''The Bold Ones: The Lawyers'' (1969–72) starred Burl Ives, Joseph Campanella, and James Farentino. This series was based on the TV movies ''The Sound of Anger'' and ''The Whole World Is Watching''. * ''The Bold Ones: The Protectors'' (1969–70) starred Leslie Nielsen and Hari Rhodes as an often conflicting police official and district attorney. This series was based on the TV movie ''Deadlock''. * ''The Bold Ones: The Senator'' (1970–71) starred Hal Holbrook. This series was based on the TV movie ''A Clear and Present Danger''. ''The New Doctors'' was based at the "David Craig Institute for New Medicine", named after E.G. Marshall's character Dr. David Craig. David Hartman played Dr. Paul Hunter, with John Saxon (seasons one and two) as Dr. Theodore Stuart, replaced in season four by Robert Walden as Dr. Martin Cohen. These stories were medical dramas. Drs. Craig and Hunter appeared in a two-part crossover story with ''Ironside'', "Five Days in the Death of Sgt. Brown". The crossover was produced between the departure of Saxon and the casting of Walden, and featured Vic Morrow as a third main character. The story has since been edited into a feature length ''Ironside'' story with special opening credits added for E.G. Marshall and David Hartman. ''The Lawyers'' featured the legal firm "Nicholls, Darrell & Darrell". Burl Ives appeared as senior partner Walter Nicholls in all episodes, and Joseph Campanella was featured as Brian Darrell in almost every episode. James Farentino was initially a semi-regular character as Neil Darrell, however the episode "The Shattered Image" featured just Ives and Farentino. ''The Protectors'' was included in the format for the first season only. This segment broke new ground for television as it concentrated on legal matters but incorporated topical racial and political elements. Leslie Neilsen played conservative police officer Lt. Sam Danforth, and Hari Rhodes played liberal District Attorney Bill Washburn. These men frequently clashed politically, professionally and personally, yet had a mutual respect and reluctant admiration for each other. The episodes featured an opening narration by a fictional deadpan radio presenter named "Al Raymond". ''The Senator'' was included during the second season as a replacement for ''The Protectors''. Hal Holbrook played Washington Senator Hays Stowe, a tireless crusader and investigator of social and political issues on behalf of the American citizen, giving a positive spin to the political scene in the period immediately preceding the Watergate scandal. Sharon Acker appeared as Erin Stowe, Cindy Eilbacher as Norma Stowe, and Michael Tolan as Jordan Boyle. Like other wheel shows (''The Name of The Game'', ''The Men From Shiloh'', ''Search'', etc.) ''The Bold Ones'' segments were rotated from week to week, with the main cast of every segment credited at the top of every episode until the abbreviated final season (1972-1973), when only ''The New Doctors'' remained. The season continued for only fifteen episodes before it was canceled in January 1973, but one final episode of ''The Doctors'' was telecast in May 1973. Like ''The Name of The Game'', the show's opening graphic originally rotated, displaying the featured cast first, followed by the other segments' casts, with accompanying narration. In the first season, the narrator announced the series' umbrella title, followed by the narration: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Bold Ones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
