- When Fox Home Video released The Complete Season 1 DVD set in 2007, several episodes were edited and/or had music replaced in them. For this pilot movie, all of Paul Williams' scenes, including acting scenes that had no music, were completely edited out. During the fight at the Palomino bar, Paul can be seen blurred out with the band in the background because the instrumental replacement music that has been added to the scene would not match his lips singing a completely different song. Sadly, future syndicated airings - such as the 2024 broadcasts on the History & Icons channel - feature the heavily-edited Paul Williams-less version, even though his music was cleared for television broadcasts since the episode first aired in 1981.
