* The "Night Watchman" segment was broadcast without explanation as the conclusion of [https://www.npr.org/programs/all-things-considered/?prgId=2| All Things Considered] on Halloween, October 31, 1979. | |||
* The first 30 minutes of the 1985 Martin Scorcese comedy [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088680/| After Hours] plagiarizes the plot setup and portions of woman-in-the-deli segment from "Lies". Joe recounts learning about this plagiarism in the extended version of [[No Show]], and his decision to accept a settlement and remain uncredited on the film. Coincidentally, [[Larry Block]] appears as a taxi driver in the film, a role that originates with this episode. | |||
* The "fugitive radical women" segment appears to have been inspired by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Edith_Saxe Susan Edith Saxe] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_Ann_Power Katherine Ann Power], who committed robberies in 1970. | |||
