** This happens a lot due to Mark VII Limited frequently reusing the same pool of guest actors in half a dozen different roles. It's very common for the same character actors to appear on the '60s version of ''{{Series/Dragnet}}'' or ''{{Series/Emergency}}''; all three were set in the same universe.

* A kind of “hey, it’s that vehicle” was the cameos by Engine 51 from ''{{Series/Emergency}}''. The rig was owned by Universal, so when this series needed a fire engine, they’d put red stickers on it to hide the “County” part of its markings. Both Engine 51 models appeared, but the Ward-La France from season 2 onward is easiest to spot.

* FairForItsDay: Despite some uncomfortable moments PlayedForLaughs (particularly some domestic disputes), for the most part the show was reasonable and Reed and Malloy treated everyone they encountered fairly regardless of race, creed, gender or orientation. The show also was reasonably even-handed with 60s counterculture - Malloy said he didn't know whether college protestors were right or wrong, he only had issues with their ''methods'' of trying to cause change when they violated the law.
