===Other series=== [[File:Kingston confidential premiere 1977.JPG|thumb|upright|[[Mariette Hartley]] and Burr in ''[[Kingston: Confidential]]'' (1977)]] After ''Ironside'' went off the air, NBC failed in two attempts to launch Burr as the star of a new series. In a two-hour television movie format, ''Mallory: Circumstantial Evidence'' aired in February 1976 with Burr again in the role of the lawyer who outwits the district attorney. Despite good reviews for Burr, the critical reception was poor, and NBC decided against developing it into a series.<ref name="Starr"/>{{Rp|177β78}} In 1977, Burr starred in the short-lived TV series ''[[Kingston: Confidential]]'' as R.B. Kingston, a publishing magnate similar to [[William Randolph Hearst]], owner of numerous newspapers and TV stations, who, in his spare time, solved crimes along with a group of employees. It was a critical failure that was scheduled opposite the extraordinarily popular ''[[Charlie's Angels]]''. It was cancelled after 13 weeks.<ref name="Starr"/>{{Rp|178β80}} Burr took on a shorter project next, playing an underworld boss in a six-hour miniseries, ''[[79 Park Avenue]]''.<ref>{{Citation|title=Harold Robbins' 79 Park Avenue (TV Mini Series 1977) - IMDb|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075515/|language=en-US|access-date=September 12, 2021}}</ref> One last attempt to launch a series followed on CBS. The two-hour premiere of ''The Jordan Chance'' aroused little interest.<ref name="Starr"/>{{Rp|183}}<ref>{{Citation|title=The Jordan Chance (TV Movie 1978) - IMDb|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077776/|language=en-US|access-date=September 12, 2021}}</ref> On January 20, 1987, Burr hosted the television special that later served as the pilot for the long-running series ''[[Unsolved Mysteries]]''.<ref name="Unsolved"/>
