Reportedly the car was changed because the two men who both stood six feet tall had a hard time getting in and out of, as well as sitting in, the kit car. Goofs In the start credits, when the Coyote jumps over and hits the roof of another car, the back right wheel has broken and sitting almost at right angles.

When it lands it is fine again. User reviews 13 Review. Top review. Ages Well. I loved the series, even with the continuity problems, when it first aired and my opinion hadn't changed over the years.

I highly recommend this series and the DVD set to any and all fans of relationship series. It was where the series was heading when it was cruelly cancelled, despite being more than high enough in the ratings to be renewed. It has truly aged well and can be enjoyed again and again.
