* CaliforniaDoubling: Dubuque, Iowa stood in for Cleveland, Ohio during the first half of the film due to the near total absence of television antennas in Dubuque during the 1970s, unlike Cleveland. This was because Dubuque's geography made reception of traditional over the air TV signals problematic for most residents, leading to the city developing a cable TV system in the 1950s before most other localities did.
