Anecdotes
The voice of Giulio, Richard Pryor's dummy, was provided by an uncredited Ross Martin. Martin had used an identical voice for Punchy, the cartoon character in Hawaiian Punch commercials.

Gaffes
Near the end of the episode when West goads Tony into throwing knives at him, slits cut in the door can be seen around West's head and shoulders. This allows trick knives spring loaded and concealed on the backside of the door to be sprung through the slits, hilt first, simulating a real and potentially lethal throw.

Citations
Villar: [through his dummy Julio] Golly, golly, golly. What's Mr. Markham going to do now?
Count Carlos Mario Vincenzo Robespierre Manzeppi: Well, what can he do now, Julio? Nothing - except die.

Aleister Crowley's Dream

In this episode (the first of the second season), Victor Buono (perhaps most famous as BATMAN villain King Tut) plays a villain who's everything Aleister Crowley wanted to be: a magician with genuine ability who glories in being evil. He also heads a gang of assassins of varied talents (including Richard Pryor as a ventriloquist, although he has about one line and I think someone else voiced the dummy, who did most of their speaking) aptly known as the Eccentric. Their target is President Juarez, who got mentioned a lot in the series. Manzeppi was also one of the few villains who got away, and even came back in a later episode. Unfortunately, he didn't come back again, unlike Dr. Miguelito Loveless (who admittedly was a greater villain, perhaps the best I've seen on TV).
