** According to ''The Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows'' (co-authored by David Schwartz, Steve Ryan, and Fred Wostbrock), panelists Charlie Brill, Mitzi [=McCall=], Jaye P. Morgan, and Pat Harrington [[TrashTheSet destroyed the set]] during the GrandFinale. They tore up the carpet, smashed lights and signs, and as Eubanks did his signoff at the end they managed to knock down his podium. However, Morgan wasn't present for the final week (and neither was Russell, who was ill), and based on the extant audio the carnage didn't start until Eubanks signed off.

** For many years, fans thought William T. Naud (who also worked on ''Series/BlankCheck'') was either Dan Enright (the rhyme reveal cue on the pilot was from Creator/JackBarry's ''Joker'', and ''Check'' was a Barry show; Johnny Jacobs announced for both shows) or Creator/ChuckBarris (some of ''Rhyme''[='s=] staff also worked for him). In reality, Naud was a real man who wrote, produced, and directed a few low-budget films (including 1972's ''Wild In The Sky'', co-written by [[Series/TheHollywoodSquares Peter Marshall]] and co-produced by [[Series/{{Lingo}} Ralph Andrews]], and the truly dreadful ''Franchise/{{Rocky}}'' parody ''Ricky 1'').

* GenreKiller: ''Rhyme and Reason'' was the first ''CDRR'' fanfic, but it was also on the verge of becoming the last and only one of its kind due to intimidating aspiring writers with its sheer [[DoorStopper size]] and quality. The next ''CDRR'' fanfic didn't come out before 1997, and it proved that ''CDRR'' fanfic didn't have to follow in ''Rhyme and Reason'''s footsteps because it was nothing like ''Rhyme and Reason''.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Due to network policy of videotape wiping at the time, only the pilot is known to be on video, and the infamous finale only survives on audiotape.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Bob Eubanks was already well known as host of ''TheNewlywedGame'', and some have speculated that ''Rhyme'' was built to be a vehicle for Nipsey Russell's talent in comedic poetry.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Only the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWhdeNhY2TQ pilot]] is known to exist on video and the finale [[http://rapidshare.com/files/442312850/1976-07-09_1-Rhyme_And_Reason__ABC___Last_Show_.mp3 on audio]], although it's been rumored for years that the finale exists in video form somewhere.
