Trivia
The entire family, minus Eugene (Charles Briles), have all killed throughout the show. Audra (Linda Evans) killed two men during the first season; Nick (Peter Breck), Heath (Lee Majors), and Jarrod (Richard Long) killed many people throughout the series, and Victoria (Barbara Stanwyck) killed at least two people in each season.
Quotes
Nick Barkley:
It might do you good to eat a little dust once in awhile.
Jarrod Barkley:
I'm a lawyer, remember? I only eat crow.
Goofs
The majority of the males in the series were clean-shaven which was not only unfashionable for the time, but relatively rare in areas where access to clean water was limited.
Crazy Credits
Throughout the series, Lee Majors was always introduced as Heath in the credits, no last name. This was because, even though he was accepted as a member of the family, there was always the question of whether he was a true Barkley or not.
Alternate Versions
Some second season syndication prints now have the first season's main title sequence. While similar in style, they use different shots. Such prints were aired in 2006-2008 on the Encore Westerns Channel and 2007-2009 on the American Life TV Network.
