Trivia

In every episode Drebin offers a pack of cigarettes to someone and says "Cigarette?". In each case the person glances at them and says a variation of "Yes, I know," or "Yes, they are."

Each week Frank's snitch, Johnny the Shoeshine boy who knew everything, would meet with someone else that Johnny could give useful if esoteric information to. In the last three episodes he met with real-life people Dick Clark, Joyce Brothers, and Tommy Lasorda (even providing Clark with a special bottle of anti-aging face cream).

The theme song, the opening credits and the character of Lt. Frank Drebin were spoofs of M Squad (1957). Lee Marvin starred on that show as Lt. Frank Ballinger.
