[post_page_title]A full day of shooting[/post_page_title]
In his attempt to get the show greenlit, creator Glen A. Larson took a somewhat unorthodox approach to creating a presentation. Told that he had to produce a 1-day pilot to offer the network, Larson took their words somewhat too literally and shot with the cast and crew for almost a full 24 hours.
Although that technique would not be replicated in future, the pilot secured network approval, and the 24 hours they spent together provided an excellent bonding opportunity for the cast.
