- The first network television series to have bleeped dialogue although this was done strictly for a comedic effect.

- Melinda Naud, Richard Brestoff and Jim Varney were the only actors from season one that were rehired for season two.
- The original plan was for Operation Petticoat to run as a one-hour series. They shot a 2-hour pilot movie, and several one-hour scripts were written. Then ABC had second thoughts and decided it would work better in a half-hour format. The first script (after the pilot) was shot as written and shown in two parts, allowing time for the other scripts to be rewritten.
