    • Trivia
      Actress Sharon Farrell, who plays Cloris, would herself suffer from amnesia a few years later after experiencing a stroke while giving birth to her son. By Sharon's own account, it took three years to recover and she still suffers from some memory loss.
    • Goofs
      A sign on the stagecoach in the opening scene reads "U.S. Dept Of Health" There was never a Department of Health; the Department of Health, Education and Welfare was organized in 1953 under President Eisenhower; it became the Department of Health and Human Services when Education became its own department in 1979. The cabinet of President Ulysses Grant consisted of eight officials: the Vice President (Schuyler Coulfax), the Attorney General (George Williams), Postmaster General (John Creswell) and the Secretaries of State (Hamilton Fish), War (William W. Belknap), the Treasury (George Boutwell), the Navy (George Robeson) and the Interior (Columbus Delano).

      Artemus Gordon: You deliver that vaccine and Jim West, maybe I'll discuss your terms.

      Furman Crotty: Gordon, I'm stunned by your sentimentality. Why, you're probably the type who approves of bronze-plating baby shoes. I, of course, approving of bronze-plating the baby, but...

    Eddie Asner as the perfect villain...
    It only appears to me that Edward Asner was not involved in the villain batch of this marvelous series yet...But now the missing link is repaired. The amnesia scheme for our hero was also expected in this huge Tv show; after all many Tv series lead have faced this kind of issue. The climax is rather a little weak.
