Production
Taeger and Coburn were starring in Klondike, another Ziv Television/NBC series, when it was cancelled after 17 episodes, its last episode airing on February 13, 1961. In order to fulfill Ziv's contract with NBC, they were recast in Acapulco, which premiered two weeks later in the same time slot as Klondike.
The show′s setting in the fashionable resort city of Acapulco allowed its producers to arrange for celebrities such as Julie London, Broderick Crawford, and Gene Barry to make surprise cameo appearances in each episode.[2] The celebrities appeared as themselves enjoying a visit to Acapulco rather than as guest stars playing a character involved in the episode′s plot.[2]
Broadcast history
Acapulco premiered on February 27, 1961, and was broadcast on Mondays at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time throughout its brief run.[2] It lasted for only eight episodes, and its last episode aired on April 24, 1961.[2]
