Most of the episode took place in and around Castle Memorial Hospital. The hospital is located at 640 Ulukahiki Street in Kailua, on the windward coast of Oahu, northeast of Honolulu. It opened on Jan. 16, 1963, as the first community hospital in Kailua. In 1983, the facility changed its name to Castle Medical Center.

Danny Kamekona (playing Charley Takahashi in this episode) appeared as Che Fong in the previous episode.

Details of Danny ("Danno") Williams' biography are revealed in the episode. He is a local boy, born and raised in Hawaii. He attended the University of Hawaii for one year before transferring to the University of California, Berkeley. He was a psychology major, but became a police science major when he moved to the mainland.
(edit)
Though Zulu (Kono) is listed in the opening credits, he has only one brief scene in the episode. Douglas Mossman (guest starring as Lt. Kealoha) has a much more prominent role.
(edit)
The close-up views of the bystanders near the television camera crew do not match the arrangement of the crowd in the wide-angle shots.
(edit)
The Hawaiian CBS affiliate, KGMB Channel 9, is featured prominently in this episode.

King Of The HillPoor "Nothing happened" "King of the Hill" is a highly disappointing and problematic episode from Season 1. Not much action or drama, and a muddled attempt at revealing racial tensions among U.S. soldiers in Vietnam. Continue » Posted Aug 19, 2007 8:57 pm PST |
