Episode Notes |

Series Premiere.
| Season 1 Premiere.
| This episode was not the original pilot episode; rather, it was the series' sixth episode, "Everybody's Favorite Bagman", that was originally shot as the series pilot back in 1988.
| Both Bruce McCarty and Daniel Benzali will later star together in the CBS drama, "The Agency".
| We discover that Greevey and Cragen were partners before Cragen's promotion; Cragen is a recovering alcoholic; and Stone's father had a drinking problem.
