Originally broadcast 6 weeks or so after the suicide of Hugh O'Connor. Ironically, one of Hugh's first lines of dialogue in the movie was when his character recalled a warning he once gave to an alcoholic woman: "You're gonna hurt someone or you're gonna kill yourself".
Final show of the series, in a 2 hour movie format.
In another example of foreshadowing a death, while leaving to go eat with Capt. Skinner, Carroll O'Connor remarks "Fat Eddie- the man who laughs at heart attacks." O'Connor would die of a heart attack 6 years later in 2001.
