THE CONVERSATION
- David’s parents made sure to never plan anything on Mondays so he wouldn't miss a single episode!
- In Germany, the show is called “Agent with Heart”.
- How the network tried to NOT run SMK's pilot episode "The First Time" first! They wanted it fourth? Big mistake, which other 80s shows have made…
- “QUIET DOWN, YOU KIDS!” -- The time Kate Jackson had to personally pay off some noisy neighbors so SMK could get their scenes completed.
- COMFORT VIEWING: Taya returned to the show during a difficult time, when her son was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. And Sabine re-found the show after a break-up. She binged them to re-discover who she was and what she wanted out of life – including learning English.
- BARBIE AND KEN… AND LEE, AMANDA, KATE AND BRUCE: Taya named her Barbies after the characters and actors from the show!
- LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: David, Taya and Sabine have discovered over 1,000 SMK filming locations! Such as…
- The inside of the IFF is The Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration in downtown Los Angeles.
- The Ballroom where the chandelier explodes in “The Triumvirate” is at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena.
- TOP RULE FOR FIRST-TIME BOOK WRITERS: Write your table of contents first!
- Wait! Is the concept of "Riptide" really three men and a robot living on a boat and solving crime?
- What other 80s show did David research? The short-lived detective duo show, "Partners in Crime" starring Lynda Carter and Loni Anderson!
- Getting the cast interviews – including the one they thought would never happen…
