In addition, the show mocked its connection to the "Remington Steele" series by having Pierce Brosnan hop networks and make a cameo appearance as Steele in one episode. The show also acknowledged "Hart to Hart" as an influence: in the episode "It's a Wonderful Job," based on the film "It's a Wonderful Life", Maddie's guardian angel showed her an alternate reality in which Jonathan and Jennifer Hart from the earlier series had taken over Blue Moon's lease. Although Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers did not appear in the episode, Lionel Stander reprised his role as the Harts' assistant Max.
