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?"
Quotes
Noah Bain:
Oh, uh, look, Al, I'm not asking you to spy. I'm just asking you to steal.
Alexander Mundy:
Let me get this straight: you *want* me to steal?
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.
Alternate Versions
The video release, "Magnificent Thief," is the series' premiere episode, "A Thief Is A Thief Is A Thief," expanded from filling a 90 minute time slot with commercials, to 99 minutes by itself. Why it was distributed to TV stations this way instead of being made a two-parter for the unusually-small-as-it-was syndicated rerun package is a mystery.
