Avalanche - S1-E5

Trivia: When the Captain Scarlet series was sold to TV broadcasters, ITC (who had backed and then marketed the series) issued a "recommended broadcast order". This was not always the same order as the episodes had been made. Episodes 1 to 4 were made and broadcast "in sequence", but from episode 5 this no longer applied. Episode 11 ("Avalanche") was the 5th to be broadcast, swapping places with the episode "Point 783" which was the 5th to be made, but the 11th to be broadcast.

Agatha All Along picture

Trivia: This series was originally announced as "Agatha: House of Harkness" in 2021. The subtitle was then changed to "Coven of Chaos" in July 2022, before being changed again to "Darkhold Diaries" in September 2023. It was then officially confirmed to be titled "Agatha All Along" in May 2024. The previous titles were all probably announced as jokes to lead up to the actual title, given that "Agatha All Along" was the name of the song used to reveal Agatha being the main antagonist of WandaVision.

Bloomsday - S2-E6

Trivia: The song playing on the radio when Rosebud breaks in, 'I'd Take a Bite of the Moon For You,' references the episodes 'Alone Together' and 'Tick Vs. Chairface Chippendale.' The song playing when El Seed breaks into the botanical gardens is a jazzy version of the show's theme song.

The Return of the Beast: Part 1 - S1-E1

Trivia: When we see the flashback of the accident that caused Bruce Banner to become the Hulk, at first we see the Hulk colored gray and then slowly turn green. This is a reference to the comics, in which the Hulk was gray in his original appearance.

The Real Ghostbusters picture

Trivia: It's noticeable that the series drops in quality in season 3. This is because ABC hired the consulting firm "Q5" to rework their lineup in an attempt to boost ratings. Unfortunately, Q5 seemed to misunderstand the series, and forced the creative team to unnecessarily change it. Their changes included making Janine a blander character and relegating Winston to just being "the driver." The crew hated the changes, which they felt were often racist and sexist. Some even left out of protest.

Everest Was Also Conquered - S1-E8

Trivia: When Bodie and Doyle chase Goodman from the kennels, the assassin puts a bullet into the Capri's tyres. Apparently this wasn't in the script but written in later as the car suffered a genuine blow-out when filming the scene, causing stuntman Peter Brayham to nearly crash.
