Trivia
The on-camera relationship between Charles Luther (Gene Simmons) and Jack Ramsay (Tom Selleck) is one of intense emotion. "While we're playing a scene I hate his guts", Simmons said of Selleck and added, "I really want to kill him. It's funny, when doing this stuff it all wells up. I can't concentrate on giving somebody a certain look for an extended period of time without my temperature rising and my emotions starting to boil. Sometimes I would make up stuff about Tom, little things that would irritate me. And afterwards, I would go up to Tom and say, 'Look, I don't know if I was too . . . and he'd interrupt and say, 'NO, no. Don't explain anything. You're doing great'."

Goofs
Officer Thompson has a scene wherein she describes Luther to an officer, who creates a computerized image of him using a handheld device. Why bother when they already have his image recorded on the Johnson's door monitor?
