Trivia
Ouma was meant to be a regular character, but people disliked working with Lon Satton (allegedly hitting on female cast members), so he was fired from the series after this episode.

Goofs
In this pilot, the globe in Koenig's office inexplicably has Sweden and Cameroon missing and replaced by expanses of the Baltic Sea and Atlantic Ocean respectively. It seems that the error was eventually spotted, as later in the series the globe was always placed with the Americas facing the camera. (Note: The geographical errors on the globe are the result of it being hastily painted over for filming; Martin Landau considered its original colorful appearance to have looked too gaudy on the set and demanded that it be repainted in colors that would blend in with the surroundings).
