After filming was completed in Japan the remaining outdoor scenes where to be filmed in Los Angeles, but due to nearly constant rain for two weeks many of the outdoor shots were filmed on indoor sets. Culp's memory about the specifics of this are confused. In interviews and commentaries he described this as December 1965 and the week after Broadway Answers Selma. Although there were some heavy rains in L.A. in Dec 1965 it was limited to a few days, the 2 weeks of rain happened a month earlier in November 1965. Broadway Answers Selma was months earlier on April 4th, 1965. The timeline Culp lays out simply isn't possible. However, in his defense he has said that the pressure of his first Directing role were tremendous and the complications of last minute changes to pre-planned shots made things even more challenging. His interviews about this were nearly 40 years after this episode was filmed, he simply mis-remembered some of the specifics.
