- Breakaway Advertisement: You can still buy "Kojak" lollipops in Spain to this day.
- California Doubling: Although later episodes featured extensive location shooting in Manhattan, the show's version of New York City frequently looked an awful lot like Los Angeles, or at least "New York Street" inside Universal Studios.
- Completely Different Title: In Germany, the show was called Einsatz in Manhattan (Mission in Manhattan).
- Directed By Castmember: Telly Savalas directed several episodes, including the Series Finale "Full Command."
- Real-Life Relative: George Savalas has a supporting role as Det. Stavros. George was working as a New York City cabbie before this role. Telly, who didn't want to commit to a series, included George in his list of demands before agreeing to do the show. George initially was billed as Demosthenes in the earlier seasons.
- Referenced by...: MAD: Kojerk ("Y'know, it's hard to believe these are 'New York's Finest!'").
- What Could Have Been: James Woods got a guest role in "Death Is Not A Passing Grade" after Richard Dreyfuss and Martin Sheen turned it down.
