Constance McCashin, who played Laura for nine seasons, refused to participate in the special or allow her clips to be used.

The "Knots Landing" set had long been destroyed and no blueprints were known to exist. Consequently, production designer "James Yarnell" recreated the MacKenzie living room using nothing more than freeze frames from episodes.

Nicolette Sheridan was in Europe promoting Desperate Housewives when the special was being taped. Her scenes were shot at a later date.

Part of the reunion was filmed at the original "Knots Landing" cul-de-sac location in Granada Hills, California. Since the front doors on the MacKenzie home had been changed since the series was filmed, the doors seen in the special are fake.

Original air date of December 2, 2005 was also Julie Harris (I)' 80th birthday.
