Line 18:
** Possibly also Terry Markwell as the 1988 revival's Casey Randall ({{spoiler|whose character is killed off after only a dozen episodes}}).
* [[Real Life Relative]]: In the revival, Barney Collier's son Grant was played by Greg Morris's son Phil. Greg reprized his role as Barney in three episodes of the revival ("The Condemned" and "The Golden Serpent" parts 1 and 2).
* [[Recycled Script]]: Done out of necessity in the revival series due to a writers' strike, but it was resolved early enough that only a handful of episodes ("The Killer", "The Legacy", "The Condemned", and "The System") were outright recycled from the original show.
* [[Similarly Named Works]]: Both the original and the revival have an episode called "Submarine" - but unlike the episodes listed in [[Recycled Script]] above, the revival's "Submarine" is ''not'' a remake.
* [[Technology Marches On]]: They went from tapes in the original 60s series to miniature compact discs in the 80s revival. Likewise, in Jim's apartment, he uses a TV with a remote control to view the dossiers of agents and his table opens to reveal a computer with hard CD-type drives that were fancy for 1988. He wistfully goes, "Time ''does'' march on." The keyboard and remote then used to choose, then "accept" agents. Once Grant's selected, though, Jim has his team of four then, and another press of the remote finalizes them as "Mission Team".
* [[Uncanceled]]: The 1988 ABC revival.
