That show wasn't picked up, but Harmon did start in a very short-lived Jack Webb/Mark VII/Universal show for CBS, in 1978: 'Sam' featured a trained police dog, with Harmon as the 'human' half of the team.rjaudiovideo said:Mark Harmon was in an episode of Emergency! that was intended to be the pilot for a spin-off series called "905-Wild", which centered around the Los Angeles Animal Control. The show wasn't picked up (if you see the episode, you can probably tell why as it was pretty cheesy even by 70's standards back then). After seeing every episode of NCIS, it was kind of hard to watch him on there without laughing, as he was nothing like the tough character he is now.
