The first appearance of Steve Landesberg on the series, albeit as a criminal (a fake priest selling Bibles as a scam). He would return as Det. Arthur Dietrich later in the second season.
Jack Soo and Ron Glass are now credited in the opening credits beginning with this episode. In the first season, they had been credited only in the closing credits, and only when they appeared.
Beginning with this episode, a new opening title shot of New York City, featuring the World Trade Center, was introduced along with a new closing shot of New York City. Both shots would be used for the remainder of the series.
The introduction of the "World Trade Center" opening credits coincidentally first aired on September 11, 1975 - exactly 26 years before the terrorist attacks.
New shots of Barney and Wojo appeared in the opening credits, along with a new shot of both Yemana and Harris.
