One of the show's more prominent quirks was the fact that it [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming|always used the word "Steele" as part of every episode title]]. At first these were clever and/or amusing puns often related to the plot -- "Steele Crazy After All These Years", "You're Steele The One For Me" -- but as time went on the number of good "steele" puns ran out, and the writers took to just inserting the word into titles, seemingly at random ("Small Town Steele").
 
The trope [[The Real Remington Steele]], while not occurring in the show, takes its name from it.
 
The first three seasons, minus a handful of episodes in the third, are currently available on [http://www.hulu.com/remington-steele Hulu].
 
In October 2013, NBC announced plans to revive ''Remington Steele'' as a [[Half-Hour Comedy]] for the 2014-15 season; screenwriters Jay Scherick and David Ronn plus an unnamed director were attached to the project (which was to focus on Laura and Steele's daughter Olivia Holt), but since then [[Development Hell|nothing has been heard]].
