* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The game show ''Series/{{Concentration}}'' – which was airing in syndication during the time ''Chico'' was a hit NBC series – had a puzzle in its bonus round "Freddie Prinze Plays Chico." The episode was taped in December 1976, but because of how television syndication worked in the 1970s and other factors, the episode did not air for the first time in its markets until March 1977, almost two months after Prinze had committed suicide.

* ReplacementScrappy: Raul, during the final season. Gabriel Melgar played the role of the 12-year-old Tijuana orphan, cast there after Freddie Prinze's death earlier in 1977. He was introduced as a means of keeping the show on longer to build up a more sizeable syndication package, but he ended up ironically being the reason the show failed in syndication as the tactic failed to push the show past the "magic" 100 episodes threshold and the format change further made the show undesirable for reruns.
