*AdvertisingCampaigns: ABC ordered the 1982 series ''[[TheOddCouple The New Odd Couple]]'' starring Ron Glass as Felix as a last minute attempt to have a new show during an upcoming writer's strike, remaking scripts from the Tony Randall/Jack Klugman version. As a result, no footage of the new show was available for Fall Preview Specials, so ABC used footage of Glass as Harris suffering from a cold from an episode of ''BarneyMiller'' to approximate Felix, as well as footage of Demond Wilson from a [[ShortRunners One Season Wonder]] show called ''Baby, I'm Back'' to approximate Oscar.

** Unwittingly played straight with Steve Landesberg as Dietrich; in his first appearance, Dietrich claims to be 28, and for many years, Landesberg was believed to have been born in 1945, which would have made him 30 years old at the time. However, he was actually born in 1936, making him over a decade older than Dietrich; self-consciousness about starting acting relatively late in life prompted him to lie about his age. (Even at his death in 2010, Landesberg's IMDB page listed his birth year as 1945.)
