The Six Million Dollar Man picture

Trivia: Only mentioned in one episode early in the series, Steve Austin's least-referenced superhuman power was his ability to hold his breath for extraordinary lengths of time. Steve's phenomenal breath-holding ability was due to the fact that, even though he had two normal lungs, he had a much smaller circulatory system than a normal human being. Also, the Steve Austin in Martin Caidin's original book, "Cyborg," had an entire array of weapons, flares, communications gear, retractable swim fins, and scuba tanks built into his bionic body.

Elsbeth picture

Trivia: Elsbeth suspects that a "suicide" is actually a murder because the victim had recently used teeth whitening strips. This is similar to the last Columbo episode, "Columbo Likes the Nightlife", where the "suicide" victim has recently used mouthwash and trimmed his toenails. In each case they didn't believe a person would do those things right before taking his or her own life. Elsbeth also often turns around with "just one more thing" after walking away, just as Columbo often did.

Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) picture

The Ghost Talks - S1-E21

Trivia: Mike Pratt (playing Jeff Randall) really was laid up in a hospital bed with two broken legs. Mike Pratt was attempting to climb a drainpipe in a slightly inebriated state during his 38th birthday celebrations. He fell 20 feet into the basement area. He'd forgotten his keys, and saw the stand-in doing it - successfully - first. Mike being Mike, he thought, "I can do that" and had a go. Jeff's 'in character' excuse in the show was that he'd fallen from a balcony in a chase - a little more dignified than the truth.

CHiPs picture

Trivia: Although many realistic freeway numbers and exits mentioned over the 2-way radio are real, they were not used in the show. An unused section of the 210 freeway (close to the 118 freeway) in the San Fernando Valley that wasn't quite open to the public yet, was the location nearly always shown on the show representing whatever location is mentioned. If you see many episodes, you can see the same section of freeway always shown.
