* AdvertisingCampaigns: [[Creator/AmericanBroadcastingCompany ABC]] ordered the 1982 series ''Series/TheNewOddCouple'' 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 [[Series/TheOddCouple1970 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 the show 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.

* TroubledProduction: A mild example because the show's unusual production schedule didn't cause too much friction on set. Danny Arnold, the show's creator, would obsessively rewrite and restage scenes even as shows were being shot, meaning that shooting days regularly ended in the early hours of the morning as the cast struggled to learn new lines and the crew scrambled to rearrange the set. It got to the point where the show stopped using a studio audience and switched to a laugh track because recording sessions ran so long and because everyone realized that the moments that made the show special were so understated that the audience reactions were so inaudible that having one almost pointless.
