- This episode marks the third different character played by Daniel Roebuck in the seasons before he joined the cast (as yet another character) as series regular Cliff Lewis in seasons 7 through 9. edit »
- In addition to featuring divided credits, this particular episode's credits were extended to acknowledge everyone who was working on the show as it was the NBC series finale. Instead of the season's closing theme, the show's opening theme was used in the extended credit sequence. edit »
- This episode marks Brynn Thayer's first appearance as Leanne McIntyre, although she was not yet officially part of the cast and received a guest credit. She was brought in to replace Nancy Stafford, who left the show when production moved to North Carolina. She was newly married, and did not want to leave her husband. Julie Sommars also left the show at this time, but returned for a guest appearance in season nine. edit »
- This episode aired as a two-hour telemovie but is aired in two parts in syndication. The syndicated episodes do not list the same cast and crew, so when they are only listed in the cast for one of the two episodes, there will be a number in the character name to indicate which one. edit »
