During a radio interview hosted by Ed Robertson, Lynda Day George said of David Janssen: "David was one of those amazing people. He was another person who was just as available emotionally as anyone I've ever met. He and Chris spent long hours talking. David was a wonderful person. And he was very kind when we were doing that show. Very kind." (The Chris she refers to is her husband, Christopher George.)
No specific location for this episode is mentioned in dialogue, but the stadium is obviously Angels Stadium (then known as Anaheim Stadium) in Anaheim, California. The stadium's giant haloed 'A' is easily recognizable in the opening shot, and it's seen again briefly as the players warm up. As well, the game Kimble watches is an Angels game, and includes footage of Angels catcher Buck Rodgers, among others.
This episode aired almost seven years to the day before publisher's granddaughter Patty Hearst was kidnapped.
