Blue Knight Trivia

There were seven episodes of the Blue Knight TV show that were produced but were not broadcast due to the cancellation of the series in mid-season. Their titles were: "Everything in Life is 3 to 1 Against", "A Matter of Justice", "The Great Wall of Chinatown", "Point of View", "Throwaway", "Death Echo", and "The Man".

George Kennedy's first credited role was as a military policeman on the comedy series, "Sgt. Bilko (aka: The Phil Silvers Show)". If you still don't remember George, maybe you're more familiar with his role as the no nonsense aeronautical engineer Joe Patroni who was the only guy who could get those airplanes back safely in the "Airport" movies.
