  • Complete Monster:
    • "License to Kill" two-parter: Salem is an international terrorist and "murderous piece of slime" responsible for over ten years of political assassinations that have terrorized half the world. Having killed many men, women, and children in the name of any cause willing to pay him, Salem is tracked down by CIA Agent Ryker while planning to assassinate the president of San Samoa. Using his mole Agent Bradshaw to frame Ryker as a criminal and kill him and anybody who could stop him, Salem even tells Bradshaw to his face that he's willing to sell him out if need be.
    • "Prisoner": Sheriff Bates, feeling that he wasn't getting a big enough salary, sets up Cell Block 6 as his own illegal prostitution ring. Having innocent women kidnapped off the street and charged for false crimes, Bates allows his guards to assault and psychologically torment the prisoners until they'll agree to do anything to leave his prison. Bates has these women flown to foreign buyers, with his latest batch about to be sold to a South American general.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: While being quite obscure in the USA, the show became a Cult Classic in Germany to the point where even Lee Majors' theme song "Unknown Stuntman" became a minor hit.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
  • Special Effects Failure: During Ramp Jump scenes, if you look a wee bit more closely, you can see the relocated engine sticking out underneath the loading bed where it had been placed to improve the balance. At least this isn't as bad as in Glen A. Larson's most popular series, Knight Rider, where one can see through K.I.T.T.'s completely empty engine compartment in Turbo Boost scenes.
