1* AdaptationDisplacement: Some episodes have better-known remakes that saw theatrical release. Examples without their own trope pages include ''The Helen Morgan Story'' and Creator/RogerCorman's ''The St. Valentine's Day Massacre'' (based on the episode "Seven Against the Wall").
2* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Creator/EdWynn's performance in ''Requiem for a Heavyweight'' was his first dramatic role in his entire career, with all of his previous work having been comedic. His heartfelt performance surprised everyone -- including the cast and crew who had been very concerned due to his constant screw-ups during rehersals. It even inspired a entire television movie (''The Man in the Funny Suit''), starring quite a few of the production crew (including Wynn) [[AsHimself as themselves]], dramatizing his role in its production.
3* RetroactiveRecognition: Peters from "Dark as the Night" is played by Creator/BillOwen, who would later be best known for playing Compo Simmonite in ''Series/LastOfTheSummerWine''.
