Trivia: Interestingly, Klinger is seen in full standard uniform. Otherwise, for the next several seasons until he takes over as clerk, he almost strictly wears dresses. In real life, Jamie Farr phased out the dresses so his kids wouldn't be teased in school.

Trivia: After Kirk leaves Sickbay, and after McCoy says one of his "What am I...?" questions (i.e., I'm a doctor, not a _______), he says, "If I jumped every time a light flashed around here, I'd end up talking to myself." Later, in Star Trek V, as he's watching Kirk climb the mountain, he says, to himself, "'You'll enjoy Shore Leave. You'll be able to relax'. You call this relaxing? I'm a nervous wreck. If I'm not careful, I'll end up talking to myself."

Sanford and Son (1972)
Trivia: Throughout the series, a number of times Fred mentions "Pluto water." It was a popular strongly laxative natural water product that was sold until 1971, when production and sales halted because lithium, one of the mineral salts, was declared a controlled substance. Sanford and Son debuted in 1972, so Fred couldn't have had this product throughout the series.

Trivia: The idea was for the series was to always be winter, so that the episodes could be shown in any order, hence the reason there is always snow on the roofs and ground, and frost on the windows. In fact, the filming was mainly done in summer, with temperatures in the 90s, and the actors had to wear their coats, and act as if it were cold.
