Trivia / *batteries not included

• Creator Couple: Real-life couple Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy as Frank and Faye Riley.
• Divorced Installment: This was originally an episode of Amazing Stories.
• Playing Against Type: Frank McRae was known for playing noisy, hot-headed characters like Da Chief in 48 Hrs., but here plays a quiet Gentle Giant who rarely talks apart from the occasional slogan he picked up from watching TV.
• Similarly Named Works: Another film was titled "Batteries Not Included" before it was changed due to the creator being made aware of Steven Spielberg's film of the same name going into production. That film would later go on to be named the iconic horror flick, Child's Play.
