* CaliforniaDoubling: Averted in "Made in Hong Kong" which had extensive location shooting there.
* TheCastShowOff: At least one episode per season gave Robert Guillaume a chance to show his singing chops.

** The second Christmas episode had him sing "O Little Town of Bethlehem" with the extra bonus of lighting the tree with his music.
** Season 5's "Too Pooped To Pip" let him do a duet with Gladys Knight.
** Season 6's "Solid Gold" had him sing "Tonight It's My Party," written for the show by Guillaume's son.
** Inga Swenson, a noted Broadway actress, also sings in a couple of episodes: "Stille Nacht" in the above-mentioned Christmas episode and "In the Still of the Night" during a telethon.
** The Season 6 two-parter, "Made in Hong Kong," shows Rene Auberjonois speaking fluent Chinese and displaying an impressive amount of local knowledge about Hong Kong.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Only Seasons 1 and 2 have been released on DVD so far, despite every season of its parent program ''Series/{{Soap}}'' being readily available on DVD and on Netflix, and the show rarely plays in reruns anywhere (though it began airing in the U.S. on Creator/AntennaTV in 2012). However, given the series' DVD rights are now owned by Mill Creek, the possibility of future seasons finally being released may finally occur.
* SmallReferencePools: Nowadays, when this show is talked about, it is often to mention that time they infamously fired Creator/JerrySeinfeld for creative differences and not telling him that until he sat down on the rehearsal table, read the script and found out his character had been cut.
* ShootTheMoney: A two-part episode in UsefulNotes/HongKong in season 6.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A show runner revealed that if the show hadn't been cancelled, the eighth season would've featured Gene winning re-election and Benson becoming a Senator.
