Days before filming, Paul Fix learned that he had been cast in the ABC western The Rifleman (1958), and filming was starting about the same time as this show. Arthur Gardner, one of the producers of "The Rifleman", let Fix fulfill his obligation before appearing in the new show.
Starting with this episode, the cars on the show switched from General Motors (Pontiacs, Chevrolets, Perry's Cadillac convertible) to Ford Motor Company (Fords, Mercurys, Edsels).
