Production
Fun and Games was another episode that, when assembled, ran short of the standard running time. In this case Joseph Stefano was able to stretch the minimal footage, shot by Gerd Oswald, in the editing suite at KTTV. Thanks to the plot, which keeps jumping back to the murder of the Poker Dealer, Mike's frantic search for a place to hide in Laura's apartment building is seen three times, and many of the shots on the Arena planet are seen twice. If you look carefully you'll notice that when Laura is "electroported" the second time it is the same footage used for her first trip.
MGM's Backlot #3, the Tarzan Forest, was used for the exterior shots of the arena planet.
