    • Trivia
      Rock Hudson originally did not like the series, but agreed to make it because of the bad films he was being offered. He said, "Television is the monster of all time that eats everything and everybody. When they wanted McMillan & Wife to go to two hours I said, 'Why? The thing doesn't even hold up for ninety minutes!'." However after the series ended he saw an episode repeated on television and admitted, "It was better than I thought. Why didn't I put more into it?".
    • Goofs
      There an inconsistently with the spelling of Commissioner McMillan's first name. In at least one early episode, the first name was shown spelled as, "Stuart," while later it was commonly spelled as "Stewart." Given that he is supposed to be of direct Scottish descent, it would more likely be that his name should be spelled as Stuart.
    • Alternate versions
      The DVD versions are each 1:16 in length, except for the pilot which is 1:35. The streaming versions, however, are each about 1:10 in length

    viewer's perceptions

    Re the comment: "I was surprised that posters mentioned Hudson's homosexuality as somehow influencing perception of this show in hindsight. Hudson was gay; Mac wasn't. If straight men can play gay characters, why can't the reverse be true? Why must someone's private life interfere with a role?" I was merely responding to the one reviewer citing Hudson being gay and then characterizing Mac & Sally's relationship as "sexless." After seeing the pilot again on the recently released DVD, I can say it was anything but! The two characters seem to be hugging, kissing, making out, etc., almost all the time (there's even a rather risqué - for 1971 TV - scene that has a clearly naked Susan St. James taking a shower behind a fogged stall window).
