* NamesTheSame: The patrolman who is killed at the beginning of "Trackdown" was named Terry Stafford, just like the one-hit wonder from 1964. Do you think Dan had "Suspicions" about who the killers were?
** The very blonde Ahna Capri played Linda Perry in the episode "Prognosis: Homicide". What's Up with that?
** Gordon Elliott is the name of a stuffy college official in "Quadrangle For Death". Years later, he'd develop an Australian accent and become a talk show host.
** Lee Jackson is the name of a defense attorney in the episode "Passing Fair". Wonder how he found time to do legal work and play bass for the Nice at the same time?
** There was also a character named Dan August in the obscure 1950's series ''Congressional Investigator''.

*** Having a lot of Burt's friends around didn't work out for some directors of the series. Gerald Mayer, who directed the episode "The Worst Crime", claimed that Reynolds' buddies who were in the episode wouldn't listen to him. They'd look at Reynolds first, as if to get his approval, then do whatever the director wanted. Mayer couldn't work like that and thusly, it was the only episode he directed.
