    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Because of the trademark scenes in which two or more characters are talking at length simultaneously, the scripts were typically two to three times as long as a script for a similar hour-long drama.
    • Quotes
      • Security Officer: I'm sorry, but you're not on the guest list.
      • David Addison: That's because we're not guests. We're looking for a man with a mole on his nose.
      • Security Officer: A mole on his nose?
      • Maddie Hayes: A mole on his nose.
      • Security Officer: [to Maddie] What kind of clothes?
      • Maddie Hayes: [to David] What kind of clothes?
      • David Addison: What kind of clothes do you suppose?
      • Security Officer: What kind of clothes do I suppose would be worn by a man with a mole on his nose? Who knows?
      • David Addison: Did I happen to mention, did I bother to disclose, that this man that we're seeking with the mole on his nose? I'm not sure of his clothes or anything else, except he's Chinese, a big clue by itself.
      • Maddie Hayes: How do you do that?
      • David Addison: Gotta read a lot of Dr. Seuss.
      • Security Officer: I'm sorry to say, I'm sad to report, I haven't seen anyone at all of that sort. Not a man who's Chinese with a mole on his nose with some kind of clothes that you can't suppose. So get away from this door and get out of this place, or I'll have to hurt you - put my foot in your face.
    • Crazy credits
      Between the closing credits of episode 3.9, "The Straight Poop", about 5 minutes of bloopers from previous episodes are shown.
