- Kirk Douglas: You know, Alexandra is really my most loyal fan. Now, when I make a movie, no matter what the critics say, Alexandra writes me a letter right away, and she says, "Dear Uncle Kirk: I saw your last movie, you were terrific!" So, now, Alexandra, if these people don't like this show tonight, you send that letter right away!

- While blcoking the "What If?" sketch on Friday, Feb. 22, Garrett was interminably late. He finally stormed into the studio and screamed at the entire show's staff for never treating him fairly. At the end of the tirade, Kirk Douglas commented, "That's the best acting I've seen here all week."

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Capt. McCloud: (holding beer can) We've got company: taste buds. Lousy, stinking taste buds.
  As 1979 faded and 1980 emerged, Budweiser beer had a commercial campaign in which all the "main characters" were taste buds.
