* ExecutiveMeddling: This show was "one of the year's two big hits" according to a contemporary [=TVGuide=] article; however, the gambling theme proved to be its undoing. The show's sponsors first demanded that the casino be turned into a restaurant (apparently in response to recent quiz show scandals), then canceled their sponsorship at the end of the season. No one else picked it up and it was consigned to TV history.

* {{Blooper}}: At one point in "I Bet Your Life," Lucky and Andamo are almost hit by a huge chunk of masonry which falls off the roof of a building behind them. As they turn around in surprise after it lands, Ross Martin slips in a puddle of water on the ground. Neither actor breaks character and they continue with the scene, so, rather than take the time to reset and reshoot a rather long, complicated sequence, the accident is [[ThrowItIn left in]], though the transition to the next shot is unusually abrupt as a result.

* StarMakingRole: For Ross Martin. Though he's best remembered today as [[Series/TheWildWildWest Artemus Gordon]], it was in this show that he first made a name for himself - so much so that he had to struggle to avoid typecasting. The role of Mr. Lucky was widely ''expected'' to be this for John Vivyan, especially given the show's success; unfortunately that didn't turn out to be the case.
