[show]Eileen Heckart had a miserable working experience on the show on the show and was relieved when it was canceled. "One of my biggest fears is that ABC will run out of summer replacements sometime and air reruns of Out of the Blue," she mused in the book "Just Outside the Spotlight: Growing Up with Eileen Heckart."
[hide] - The pilot was not broadcast; it ran less than 20 minutes and was retooled as "Random's Arrival." In the original pilot, The Boss Angel was male and Aunt Marion wasn't included.
- Thirteen episodes were filmed (including the two-part pilot, which aired as one hour-long episode) but the show was canceled after nine episodes aired.
