The 'futuristic plaza complex' is Toronto City Hall (aka 'New' Toronto City Hall), designed by Finnish architect Viljo Revell in 1958 but completed in 1965; it was at the time one of the most celebrated Modern buildings in North America and is still going strong today.

Only the last 4 episodes were shot in color. It had a $100,000 budget per episode. Small for a U.S one hour series. But was the most expensive TV show in Canada where it was made.

Forgot to say I'm so glad they managed to have the series be done in color for last several episodes etc!

Lawrence Dobkin was an American actor on old time radio shows and on the early years of television. He was also in the 1970 movie "Patton".

Driving to Niagara Falls from Montreal in the early 60"s my dad commented on hoe the Royal York Hotel was the tallest building in Toronto. Living in Montreal, I was proud of the fact that we were the largest city in Canada and we already had Place Ville Marie - I believe the tallest building in the Commonwealth at that time. Amazing how a governmnet's policies in the 70's turned the tide and relegated us to such a small stature compared to |Toronto

One More....My Dad was a suit with Sun Life....Their building was the largest in the Commonwealth untill Place Ville Marie in 65'.

[@rpm1796]

It was the separatists getting in, in 76'.....that did it....Sun Life loaded up.....They demolished their only 20 year old Lord Simcoe Hotel property at University and King....and built their new Global HQ....taking with them about 10,000 employees...........they were the first breach in the dam....of the many to follow.. In a way it's a blessing.......Montreal is my absolute favourite city .....and she has kept all her charm that Toronto has demolished.

People may find this hard to believe but Vancouver's Dominion Building at 10 storeys (1910) was at the time the tallest building the then British Empire - only superseded four years later by the 14 storey Sun Tower, also in Vancouver. Both buildings still stand and are in very fine shape. Mies van der Rohe's black obsidian Dominion Tower in Toronto was a celebrated building at the time - perhaps not as iconic as new City Hall, but a herald of Toronto's ascendancy to 'number 1' in the 70s. Though I don't think for any of us Montreal has ever lost its lustre - its still the coolest place around.

Great show.

[@AEDC49]

Love the Futuristic Plaza Complex shown in certain scenes in this 2 parter! Really Cool! Where is it!?

[@Jay-vr9ir]

It is Toronto City Hall , it still stands today a little older but not a bad place.
