Much of the outside filming was done in Covina, California.
This episode contains an in-joke of sorts. The bank robbed at the start of the story is the Bank of R. Gilmer. Robert W. Gilmer is the writer and co-producer of this episode. He also refers to it in a note that accompanies the script for the later episode MOUTH OF THE SNAKE.
The only Christmas themed episode of the series.
The actual script called for much more of the Christmas spirit. One scene has Michael listening to Christmas carols, another calls hopefully for decorations along the street.
Janet DeMay was a regular on Remington Steele, which aired directly after Knight Rider on NBC during its first season.
