Added DiffLines:
* NewbieBoom: While the show being in syndication and later on various streaming platforms didn't hurt, to say nothing of the remade series or the Tim Burton movie, the airings on the Sci-fi Channel in the 90s do seem to be the most common way people too young to have watched the original run found the series. More recently, the Covid Pandemic seems to have introduced some new fans, as the show is good material for binging during lockdown.

* PlayingTheirOwnTwin:
** Don Briscoe plays brothers Tom and Chris Jennings. They're never explicitly stated to be twins, but it seems likely. Not to mention that the name Thomas means "twin" and Tom is stated to be the younger of the two; naming a younger twin Thomas wasn't uncommon.
** Lara Parker plays twin sisters Alexis and Angelique in Parallel Time.

* MissingEpisode: It has just ''one'', being just about the earliest soap opera to be recorded for posterity. An audio track for that episode does exist, however, so for broadcast or video release the audio is combined with publicity stills. Also, the aired color videotape versions of several early episodes are lost and they survive only as black and white kinescopes, with noticeably lower picture and audio quality. Oddly enough, the search for the master tapes in 2001-2002 also uncovered several hundred episodes of ''Series/TheHollywoodSquares'', even though both were produced by different networks (ABC and NBC) at very distant facilities (ABC Studios 2 and 16 in New York and NBC Burbank) by different production companies (Dan Curtis and Heatter-Quigley).
