Lil - S7-E3

Trivia: In this episode, Hawkeye is trying to find out what "B.J." stands for. Despite all of his efforts, nothing works. This was based on Johnny Cash. Upon his birth, his mom wanted to name him 'John', and his dad preferred 'Ray'. When he enlisted in the Air Force, they wouldn't accept initials as a name, so he chose 'John R. Cash'.

A Piece of the Action - S2-E17

Trivia: According to the script and audio of this episode, the first Boss is named Bella Oxmyx. But all posters of Oxmyx have the last name spelled "Okmyx." The reason is the as originally written, Okmyx would have been correct, but all material with Okmyx had already been made. Since it was a tight budget, the name was only changed at the time of filming.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: This movie was released in June 1966 so depending how long before that the filming took place, it may have been from the new Batman show (at that time).

That would be a possibility, as The Munsters debuted on television Sept. 24, 1964. Munsters Go Home appeared June 6, 1966. The Batman series starring Adam West debuted on television January 12, 1966. So given the dates, you would be correct, and given off-screen possibilities, I stand corrected, as I didn't have the correct dates at the time.
