...titled, "The November Plan," is based on a plot to overthrow the US government. Actor Lloyd Nolan played Gen. Smedley Butler.

It aired in 1976. "City of Angels" lasted only one season. Why only one season? I mean, Wayne Rogers had just come off a successful run with the TV show, "M*A*S*H". I would think he was popular with the TV-watching public.

I sometimes wonder if "The November Plan" got a little too close for comfort for the "clandestine group of very prominent and powerful men" and was subsequently canceled.

(I believe "City of Angels" was based on the movie "Chinatown" (1974) with Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway).
