Goofs
When Mr. Bishop is in the cell, for the entire scene the reflection of the many stage lights in his eyeglasses makes it impossible to see his eyes.

Quotes
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz: You said that if somebody did something about your demands, that you would eat.
Philip Bishop: So?
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz: So I did something.
Philip Bishop: You got the missiles out of Europe?
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz: No, not yet.
Philip Bishop: Is Sakharov on his way?
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz: No. I got your cleaning deposit back. I called them and I explained the whole thing to them and they said that they'd have a check in the mail in the morning.
Philip Bishop: I really would have preferred the missiles out of Europe.
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz: You gotta start somewhere.
Philip Bishop: All right. You know, um, maybe I'll have one of those donuts now.
Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz: They're all gone.

Crazy credits
The closing credits use all capital letters. Unfortunately, this makes the capital L and the capital I in series creator Theodore J. FLICKER look like a capital U which makes his name look like something that one wouldn't normally see on broadcast television of the 1970s.
