Trivia "The last line of dialogue in the last episode of the series is spoken directly to the camera. Wally Powers (facing & continuing to talk to the other actors, not the camera): "You know that, and I know it, and you can be very sure the government knows it." (turning his face to the camera) "So what are you trying to do, scare everybody?" See more »
Goofs Several episodes in season 1 use stock footage of the undercarriage of an aircraft landing. This aircraft has 4 sets of landing gear. No commercial aircraft uses this configuration. The only aircraft to use this configuration is the USAF B-52 bomber. See more »
