* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The show's only two-parter "The Thrill Killers" was originally planned to air as a two-hour season premiere (which is why Part 2 has Acts V-VIII), but Fred Silverman [[ExecutiveMeddling insisted that it be split in two]] so that the second part could go up against the season premiere of fellow QM Production ''Series/BarnabyJones'' on CBS and hopefully beat it in the ratings. (It didn't work. Plus it turned out to be the final season for ''The Streets of San Francisco'', whereas ''Barnaby Jones'' ran until 1980.)
