Trivia
When Rockford goes to the US Postal distribution center he is connected to a character with the title of "Nixie". A nixie clerk is someone who deciphers letters and packages that have inscrutable addresses. The word "nixie" is an Americanization of the German word "nicht", meaning "nothing".

Goofs
When Jim pushes Angel onto the chair in his apartment, there's a box of Sugar Frosted Flakes and a vase that appear and disappear depending on the camera angle.

Quotes
Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
Caller: This is The Baron. Angel Martin tells me you buy information. Okay - meet me at 1:00 AM behind the bus depot, bring $500, and come alone. I'm serious!

Sweet. Very sweet.

Finally we get another classic Rockford story.

Season 6 has been lean on classics and it's a good thing the series ended abruptly when it did.

This story is classic rockford. It's got all the usual suspects in it, a great story, acting and ending.

This one is sweet, very sweet.
