Production

The film was produced Paramount Network Television Productions in association with Daniel H. Blatt Productions, with broadcaster CBS and Paramount both being owned by Viacom at the time. The rights to the film remained with Paramount Pictures when CBS split from Viacom in 2006 to form CBS Corporation, even though CBS Corporation inherited the rights to other television projects originally produced by Paramount. Viacom and CBS eventually re-merged in 2019 to form ViacomCBS.
