I'm sure this has been covered before but I have not seen the answer. Why were so many episodes set in the winter with patches of snow scattered around and the characters wearing winter clothing? All the while, green vegetation and trees full of green leaves are in full view in the background. Don't see why the series went through the effort.
shareI think it's sited under 'Trivia' and the idea was a permanent Winter allowed the Episodes to be aired out of order... (you'll notice than not only are the Heroes 'color Coded' (Kinch: Green, Carter: Brown, LeBeau: Red, Newkirk: Blue) but save for Carter getting a new Jacket in season six, the each had their own 'default' Costume that they wore unless in disguise
this functioned both with an eye to syndication, as well as allowing the shows to get shuffled in the production line as well, in case one got delayed (if they had a good 'Hochstetter/Burkhalter Script' but Caine & Askin were busy, or they Really wanted Gavin McLeod (he popped up 4 times as 4 different Germans in 3 years) and from what I understand he had his pick of roles
Hmm...interesting; I never gave any thought to the "color code" for each "hero". I did notice in the first season, after the first few episodes, that Lebeau's sweater with "FRANCE" on the sleeve, changed from blue to burgundy, (ok, "red" I guess) & Newkirk changed from wearing a longer peacoat-type outergarment to a shorter "Eisenhower"-style jacket.
