The D.A. Trivia:

When The D.A. TV show was canceled, its time slot was taken over by "Sanford and Son".

The D.A. is often compared to "Law and Order". One big difference though is that Deputy D.A. Ryan would speak to the audience during the show (as a voiceover) to explain legal and courtroom terminology and procedures to the viewers!

The D.A. aired on Friday nights from 8:00 to 8:30 PM. One of the reasons it may not have lasted too long is that "The Brady Bunch" was on ABC at the same time!
