Trivia[]

  • Tragically, the three actors portraying the Thompson family all passed away less than ten years after this two-part episode aired: burly John Hancock died of a heart attack at 51 in October 1992, feisty Rosalind Cash succumbed to cancer at 56 in October 1995, and promising young actor Keith Amos was felled by a severe asthma attack at only 36 in November 1998.
  • Production assistant Robert Schanche appears in this episode.
  • John Hancock reprises his role as Gus Thompson.  Rosalind Cash plays his wife Maya.
  • The plot seems unbelievable (even in 1989), but it was (and still is) probably more common than we might believe.
  • Alex thinks it might be best for Steven to live in Mr. Roger's Neighborhood .(and Steven sings the theme song).  Later they add the song "Blowin' in the Wind".
