Some random facts about Blue Heelers:

In episode eight, Tom Croydon (John Wood) tells Maggie Doyle (Lisa McCune) "Lisa, lock the station". A similar error occurred in episode 44, when Maggie calls Tom's dog Digger by the dog's real name, Blue.

Tasma Walton, Jane Allsop and Samantha Tolj all had guest roles before being cast as Dash McKinley, Jo Parrish and Kelly O'Rourke, respectively.

Maggie and PJ were never intended to be a couple - Maggie was originally going to be paired with Wayne, until fans pointed out the tension between her and PJ.

When the original plan for Blue Heelers was accepted by Channel Seven in 1993, Maggie Doyle was called Molly Doyle.

John Wood is the only cast member to have appeared in every episode.

I have an endless supply of entertainment facts, so I may just keep posting until I run out . Anyway...

In the Elizabeth Montgomery Telemovie 'A Case of Rape' (One of NBC's many drama telemovies of the 70s), NBC decided that one rape sceen was enough (all it showed was Montogomery being beaten) - they had filmed two and decided that the second one was just a filler, Montgomery felt so strongly that this sceen, depicting rape in gory details, should be kept in that she threated to walk out on the rest of filming if they did - it was kept.

In Bewitched Elizabeth Montgomery played the roles of Samantha Stephens and her more free-spirited cousin Serena. However in the cast listing, the role of Serena was listed as being played by Pandora Spocks. Many viewers didn't realize this, and wrote "Pandora" fan mail.

In Bewitched almost all of the female witches' character names end with the letter "a", including Samantha, Endora, Esmeralda, Clara, Hagatha, Enchantra and Tabitha. Some exceptions include Abigail Beechum (Maurice's private secretary) and Mary (friend of Bertha, Endora and Clara).

Bewitched's famous animated opening credits were created by Hanna-Barbera Productions

In Reba, the character of Reba was originally going to have the name "Sally" but Reba McEntire decided that because she had such a loyal fanbase from her singing career, naming the character Reba would help her fans connect to the show.
