Production

Robert B. Parker had a significant role in the development of the TV movies as opposed to the earlier . Nonetheless, he felt that the movies didn't get it right, not because of the performances but because of the limited budget. Parker had a small role in the first film, and cameos in the later two. His son, Daniel, and wife, Joan, appear in Thin Air.
All three movies were filmed in Canada.
