      • This was the first Gene Barry segment of the season. Dave Grusin, who is responsible for the show's theme, composes the music for this episode. We find out in this episode that Glen Howard's zodiac sign is "Leo". This episode shows Howard's penthouse - he actually lives in the top part of the building - and his living quarters have all of the modern conveniences, including a private elevator and a bar. On the roof is a helicopter pad, shown in this episode.
