Trivia

20 years after this show was broadcast (and a year after Jack Lord's death from Alzheimer's disease), Sharon Farrell (Lori) told an interviewer that Lord kept forgetting his own lines and rewriting the lines of guest star Jayne Meadows (playing an astrological consultant who gives advice to an aspiring boxer). Farrell suggested that Lord may have already had early-onset Alzheimer's and was in a combative phase where he raged at everybody.

Goofs

When Jessica Humboldt (Jayne Meadows) is doing an astrological chart on the grass and is approached by Joe Donovan (Eddie Firestone), the sun is coming somewhat from her right, and when he gets up to leave there are no shadows behind her. But when Kimo (William Smith) walks up a moment later, the sun is coming from directly behind her, and there are numerous shadows (either of the crew or the people in the stands behind her) on the ground immediately behind her.
