When Dobie goes off to school after talking with his parents in the grocery store, the transition uses stock footage of students walking toward the entrance of Herbert Hoover High School in Glendale, California (a building which was demolished in 1966). Above the entrance the name of the school (temporary for filming) shows "Ogden Central High School". (The city name "Ogden" is not mentioned in the Pilot, nor the series itself.) The first episode of the series bears the same title as this Pilot: "Caper at the Bijou" and the plot is basically the same, though the High School establishing shots for the series use an Olympic Boulevard entrance to Los Angeles High School (building demolished in 1971).
