San Francisco Police Commissioner Stewart McMillan
had a beautiful wife who had a penchant for getting
both of them involved in criminal cases which she
inadvertently stumbled upon. Mac was very supportive,
though occasionally bewildered by the situations Sally
got them into, and was often called upon to help solve
the cases. This mystery/comedy police series was
patterned after the relationship between Nick and Nora
Charles in The Thin Man movies and TV series of the
1940s and 1950s. There were elements of romance and
comedy thrown in with the actual case being solved.
Mac's aid was plodding but enthusiastic Sergeant
Enright, and Mildred was the McMillans'
sarcastic, sharp-tougued maid.

McMillan and Wife was one of three original rotating
elements in the NBC Mystery Movie--the other two were
McCloud and Columbo--and remained with the series
throughout its long run. When Nancy Walker and
Susan Saint James left the series at the end of the
1975-1976 season, the title was shortened to McMillan.
Sally was written out of the series by having her
die in a plane crash, and Mac, now a widower, had a
new housekeeper named Agatha, who happened to be
Mildred's sister. Mac also acquired a second assistant
in Sergeant DiMaggio (the dim-witted Enright had
been promoted to lieutenant) and a new
secretary named Maggie.
