* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: In "Tricky Dick", Tommy forms a garage band which in the original script was called "Shattered Princess". Production on the episode was delayed due to scheduling issues, and mere days before it was due to film Princess Diana died in a car accident. The band's name was quickly changed to "Whiskey Kitten" before filming began.

** Dick was originally supposed to have a female assistant who was supposed to be a bit of a pushover.

** An extended version of the final scene from the series finale was shot in case the show was picked up at the last minute. In this version Mary wakes up after the Solomons leave and gets into the rambler. Once she closes the door Dick suddenly reappears and tells her he couldn't leave without her. Mary is shocked as her memory of him was successfully wiped so Dick grabs her and yells for the waiting spaceship to abduct her.
