Denny Miller, who plays Paul Croton in this episode, also plays football player John Tobey in the Season 2 episode "Killer Instinct." In the scene where Miller's character is angrily smashing his football memorabilia, a picture of a football player can be seen. The uniform and jersey number are exactly the same as John Tobey's in "Killer Instinct," but the player's face cannot be seen clearly because of his helmet.
This was the second television show where Diane Shalet played a character interacting with a paraplegic. In an episode of "Little House the Prairie" titled "Dearest Albert, I'll miss you," which aired several months earlier, she played the mother of a young girl in a wheel chair.
