Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

J. Edgar Hoover personally vetted every script for the first two seasons, rejecting any that made the Bureau look bad.

Cultural

This was ABC's longest-running crime drama until surpassed by The Rookie in 2021, and it shaped America's perception of FBI agents as unimpeachable heroes before pop culture turned skeptical.
