- TriviaWhen Joe Penhall gets run off the road at the beginning of the episode, the crash scene is actually stock footage from season 5 episode 1 of The Rockford Files (1974). Stephen J. Cannell was the producer on both series.
- GoofsAbout three minutes into the episode, an eighteen-wheeler swerves to avoid two cars in the middle of the road, then flips on its side. As it is landing on its side, there is a stuntman visible behind the steering wheel, wearing a helmet.

Featured review
West Coast Turnaround
I am not sure about Amy's deduction skills. Hannibal disguises himself as a hospital porter and she cannot see through it.
The A Team comes to the aid of an ex Vietnam veteran and watermelon farmer who cannot supply his produce to the auction market
Chuck Easterland (Stuart Whitman) and his goons want the farmer to fail so he can go bankrupt and they pick up his farm cheaply. The sheriff is no help as he is related to Easterland.
You can now spot a serious flaw in the series. You have an early action scene where the bad guys are apprehended and Hannibal gives the villains a stern lecture and sends them back on their way.
Of course that would be fine in a 30 minute show. You now have angry villains hell bent on revenge. So more needless chaos and destruction.
It is a fine enough episode. Whitman is a solid villain of the week. Murdock has an invisible dog which might be real!
