Did you know
• The photograph of Captain Gannon's wife behind his desk is the same photograph as Colonel Potter's wife in M*A*S*H (1972). Both parts were played by Harry Morgan.
• The famous catchphrase "Just the facts ma'am" was never actually said by Jack Webb/Joe Friday, but by comedian Stan Freberg.
• Detective Streebek's television watch was real. SEIKO invented it in 1983. It had a black-and-white display and a separate battery pack/tuner about the size of a Walkman.
