Trivia

This highly publicized episode was shot on videotape, a first (and only) for a dramatic series of the 1970s. The production crew had great difficulty adjusting to the new format (with numerous changes needed for lighting and set design), and the show went two days over schedule and consequently far over budget. No scripted dramatic series since then, except for some live episodes preserved for retaping, has tried the format.
