In a case of life imitating art, Lorne Greene would die within 2 years of making this episode. This would become his last appearance as the main character in a story.
This episode reunites Michael Landon with former Bonanza co-star, Lorne Greene.
Though Lorne Greene was the only major cast member from "Bonanza" to appear on this show, other actors, including co-star Victor French and guest stars like Leslie Nielsen and Richard Mulligan, appeared on both shows in supporting roles.
