- The Character Died with Him: By the time the reunion movies aired in the early 2000s, Bruno Gerussi (Nick) and Robert Clothier (Relic) were deceased, as were their characters.
- Fake Nationality: Bruno Gerussi, who played Nick, is actually Italo-Canadian.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: Aside from being one of the longest-running Canadian drama series ever made, the series basically redefined the concept of "CanCon" (Canadian-made programming). Part of the problem may be the show's length; it ran for an astounding 19 seasons (plus a pair of made-for-TV movies). The only way you can watch the series right now is via old reruns on Canadian specialty stations.
- Even then, the reruns are only of the last few seasons. The first decade or so (considered by many to be the best years of the show) is still locked in the vault. The CBC has been refusing to release them for years, for unknown reasons.
- An episode, complete with commercials, is featured in a compilation movie from the Provincial Archives of Alberta, which is rated
PG in Alberta.
- Screwed by the Network: It was still a hit when the CBC cancelled it due to budget cuts.
