- TriviaA remake, in slightly modified form, of the original pilot. The Uncle Charlie character featured in the pilot was omitted and the episode slightly rewritten to remove all scenes. A new teaser opening in the Miller house was written to replace the scenes with Uncle Charlie. The remainder of the episode's dialogue is identical to the pilot, aside from the changes to the characters who were changed.
- GoofsWhen Ramon holds the detectives hostage in the squad room, the dangling handcuff on his left wrist constantly changes from being locked closed to hanging open.

- Alternate versionsSony's Season 1 DVD sets use the syndicated version, as the master copy of the original broadcast version was thought to have been lost at the time of its release. The original broadcast master was later located and issued as part of the complete Barney Miller series DVD set by Shout Factory in 2011.

Featured review
The potential is there...
...but doesn't quite gel yet. Part of the problem is the reliance on Barney's home life. Luckily, this was dropped quickly as the Squad is more family than Barney's. Fan favorites such as Harris, Yamana, Fish and Wojo are there, but contain none of their future quirky traits.
Fairly generic, but thankfully Danny Arnold would give it his own spin and it would become the television classic we remember.
