| Trivia | Before Jim Garner broke into show business he worked with his real father laying carpet. In this show Jack and Jim are in the trailer about to leave, Jack looks down at the carpet on the floor and says "Jimbo, you were in the carpet business, the stuff you got here is 3 notches above a drop cloth!"

| Goofs | When Rockford (James Garner) is talking to Scowron (Anthony Zerbe) in the hospital room, Rockford knocks over a glass of milk on the food tray while reading the note Jack gave him. This was likely an error on Garner's part from which he recovered, and continued the scene. See more » |
