- Actor Leaves, Character Dies: Sally dies offscreen between the fifth and sixth seasons thanks to a contract dispute between Susan Saint James and Universal.
- What Could Have Been: "Affair of the Heart" was only filmed in season 6 because Peter Falk had passed on it as a proposed Columbo script. Had it been accepted then "Affair of the Heart" wouldn't have been made. Later in 1990, Falk revisited the script due to a writer's strike as the Columbo episode "Uneasy Lies The Crown". Certain plot points do differ, though a fair amount of dialog is identical. This has led to more than a few of accusing Columbo of directly stealing the plot.
- This may very well explain why Sgt. Steve DiMaggio wears Columbo's familiar tan raincoat and brown pants combo in the episode.
