Carson, the role of whom is played by Nicolas Coster. Detectives Peaches whose role is played Amy Botwinick, and Tara Buckman in the role of Brandy are the new coworkers of Lobo.
The new format of series includes Nell Carter as Sgt. Hildy Jones. According to an interview which was given by the president of NBC, Fred Silverman to The New York Times, the research showed that the show's performance is well in rural areas, but not as well in urban areas.

But the new format decreased the popularity of the series and the show was cancelled after the end of its second season.
