Trivia
This was the first of only two episodes in which all of the series' eight principal cast members (Hal Linden, Max Gail, Abe Vigoda, Ron Glass, Steve Landesberg, Jack Soo, Ron Carey and James Gregory) appeared; the second was Good-Bye, Mr. Fish: Part 2 (1977).

Goofs
Wojciehowicz is a Detective 3rd grade. He would be issued a Detective's gold shield with a sunburst pattern. That shield would be worn when the Detective is in uniform, but Wojciehowicz is seen wearing a Police Officer's silver shield when in uniform. Whether in uniform or not, the Detective's rank doesn't change.
