Bunkers’ daughter and son-in-law which were then named “Dickie”, had initially been cast to Candice Azzara and Chip Oliver. However, once ABC saw the show’s pilot, they immediately requested a second pilot as they were dissatisfied with both actors.

“The First and Last Supper” episode, during the closing credits, Mel Stewart is incorrectly credited with the role of George Jefferson. In reality, Stewart played George’s brother, Henry Jefferson, who was actually pretending to be George for most of the episode.
