There are some inside jokes about other series produced by Warner Bros., this series' producer. Kookie, portrayed by Edd Byrnes, indicates that he doesn't know that Will Hutchins is the star of Sugarfoot (1957). Later, he can be seen reading an issue of TV Guide, with the stars of Maverick (1957), James Garner and Jack Kelly, on the cover.
Montgomery Pittman: in the final scene. His real life step-daughter Sherry Jackson plays Carrie, and his wife/Jackson's mother, Maurita Pittman, wrote the script.
