The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo
- This show was a quick spin-off of "B.J. and the Bear" (1978), when that show was an instant hit. However, ratings quickly dried up, and neither show lasted long. To make a more compelling product for syndication, all episodes of both shows were packaged as a bundle titled "The B.J./Lobo Show".
- This episode aired in May 1980 and marked the end of the Orly-based misadventures. Following this episode the series was on a six-month hiatus and reinvented, returning for 15 episodes beginning in December 1980 as the Atlanta-based series simply titled "Lobo."
- The comic book Perkins is reading while sitting in the VIP Lounge is 'The Doom Patrol' #116 (December 1967).
- While reading an unspecified comic book, Perkins mutters a reference to Gyro Gearloose, who was the eccentric inventor featured in Donald Duck comic books. Gearloose was created for Walt Disney by Carl Barks (who also created Uncle Scrooge McDuck).
- The closing credits include the following: "This episode is lovingly dedicated to the memory of sound technician Lowell Brown (II)."
- Perkins exclaims that he was saved from the hitman's bullet by "Uncle Buster's dog tag." Perhaps not coincidentally, "Uncle Buster" was the character Mills Watson went to play on the series "Harper Valley P.T.A." (1981) when "Lobo" was canceled.
- Birdie mentions that he served as a Medic in Vietnam.
- Lobo breaks the news that Perkins and Rose's 10-year marriage was performed by a phony preacher with no authority to conduct weddings, and so their marriage has been declared illegitimate and void.
- Last show of the series.
