McMillan & Wife (known simply as
McMillan from 1976-77) was a lighthearted
American police procedural that aired on
NBC from September 17, 1971, to April 24, 1977. Starring
Rock Hudson and
Susan Saint James in the
title roles, the series premiered in 90-minute episodes as part of Universal Television's
wheel series NBC Mystery Movie, in rotation with
Columbo and
McCloud. Initially airing on Wednesday night, the original lineup was shifted to Sundays in the second season, where it aired for the rest of its run. This was the first element to be created especially for the
Mystery Movie strand.
