Trivia / Banacek

• California Doubling: In general, the series was shot on the Universal Studios backlot, though location scenes were filmed around Los Angeles in areas that could pass for Boston, or rural areas near there.
• Money, Dear Boy: Inverted. George Peppard quit the series to stop his soon-to-be-ex-wife from taking a big chunk of his salary as part of the divorce settlement.
• Referenced by...: The Simpsons episode "Homer Is Where The Art Isn't" is done In the Style of this series, even featuring Billy Goldenberg's theme music.
• Technology Marches On: The two most obvious examples are the room sized computer featured in "If Max Is So Smart, Why Doesn't He Tell Us Where He Is?" and Banacek's car phone.
