The Runaways(1978)

The Runaways is a 1978 drama series following a psychologist who tracks down troubled teenagers fleeing their homes. Originally titled Operation: Runaway, the show debuted in spring 1978 as a limited run before being shelved and revived the following year with a new title, revised cast, and fresh direction. Alan Feinstein joined the ensemble, taking over a lead role previously held by Robert Reed of The Brady Bunch fame. The series explores the complex motivations behind youth runaways and the efforts to bring them home, blending procedural elements with character-driven storytelling about adolescent crisis and redemption.
