• Burt Reynolds' salary for the show was six thousand dollars a week.

• Hawk (Burt Reynolds) drives a Pontiac, a car brand he will make famous in the upcoming years. Pontiac was a brand that was named after a famous Odawa chief whose tribe was once an ally of the Iriquois.

• In his 1989 autobiography "It Would Be So Nice If You Weren't Here...", Charles Grodin reveals he was invited to meet with the producers for an unspecified part in this series, only to realize they were asking him to play the lead role of 'Hawk'. But by the time he did so he had already ruined his chances by expressing that he did not consider himself suited to play a native American.
