Line 9:
** Wo Fat, played by Anglo-Egyptian-Sudanese-American Khigh Dheigh. Yes, really.
** In "Samurai", Mexican-born actor [[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan|Ricardo Montalban]] played a ''Japanese'' mobster.
** [[Star Trek: The Original Series|Spock's dad]] played a Japanese saboteur in "To Hell With Babe Ruth.". Oh dear.
* [[Forgotten Theme Tune Lyrics]]: The show's distinctive theme music is entitled "You Can Count On Me", and Sammy Davis Jr. at one point actually recorded it:
{{quote|If you get in trouble, bring it home to me
Whether I am near you, or across the sea.
I will think of something to do.
I'll be on the lookout for you.
And I'll find you -- you can count on me. }}
* [[Missing Episode]]: "Bored She Hung Herself", a 1970 episode about a deadly yoga technique that bears more than a passing resemblance to [[Erotic Asphyxiation]], has been banned since its original broadcast, allegedly because a viewer accidentally died while imitating the technique. The episode was never syndicated, and it's not included on the second season DVD box set.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Tim O'Kelly as Danno, Lew Ayres as The Governor and James Gregory as State Department official Jonathan Kaye (a recurring character on the series) in the pilot movie; Ayres later guested on the series (twice, in different roles), as did pilot cast members Andrew Duggan (four times!) and Leslie Nielsen. Kaye, meanwhile, was played by a total of '''six''' different actors.
