      • "Far from the Brave" is actually the 8th and final episode that Shecky Greene participated in. After multiple retakes of the final scene in scorching weather, Greene decided that he no longer wanted to work on the weekly series, and went back to his much higher-paying nightclub gigs in Las Vegas.

      • It was after this episode we started to see Kirby using the BAR Edit
