Did you know

• Dick Van Dyke's hobby is computer animation. The animation seen on the computer screen was done by Van Dyke himself. He got interested in animation while working on Mary Poppins (1964).

• During a sketch on Episode #1.4 (1979) of The Mary Tyler Moore Hour (1979), Mary and Dick again played Rob and Laura Petrie. In a similar plot to this show, Rob has to write a eulogy for the funeral of the recently deceased Alan Brady.

• Rather than make this special simply a clip-filled reunion show, creator Carl Reiner instead chose to produce it in the format of a regular episode.
