A Man Called Sloane is an American secret agent adventure television series that aired on NBC during the 1979–1980 television season. It was a Woodruff Production in association with QM Productions and became the final series produced by Quinn Martin's company to debut.[a]
A Man Called Sloane was an amalgam of elements from numerous spy series of the previous 15 years, including The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Mission: Impossible, and Conrad's own The Wild Wild West.[b] One of the more expensive series produced during the season, it failed to gain an audience and was cancelled after 12 episodes were broadcast.
It is also one of only three QM series not to have an announcer accompanying the opening titles,[c] one of two not to display a copyright notice at the beginning but rather at the end,[d] and the only one not to have a "Tonight's Episode" card or the "Act I/II/III/IV/Epilog" formatting—the episode titles still appear onscreen, but they appear as part of the episode credits rather than during the standard opening.
