Randolph Mantooth plays a paramedic in this episode. Of course he would soon become a famous paramedic in the TV show Emergency!, which was also produced by Universal.

McCloud was not a sheriff, but a Deputy US Marshal. This episode starts out with a narrative with different facts than the pilot.

The title on the DVD, and the title that comes up on the screen at sign-on, is "Man from Taos" (see Alternate Versions).

The title misquoted the quote which was, "Who says you can't make new friends in New York?"

For the syndicated version, Marj Dusay's dialog is dubbed by a different actress. Because her dialog had to be changed to reflect the altered story line to bridge the originally two different stories, her original lines wouldn't fit and they had to be changed.

Most New Yorkers that I know including me when I lived there would have known what elevator operator Johnny Silver was talking about when he tells Dennis Weaver don't get involved. He was quite right, you never know who's in the right and you interfere and both sides will hate you. That part about which side being right, I've seen bad interference make a situation worse because you don't know who is in the right.

But when Marj Dusay screams McCloud comes running from his hotel room across the hall and finds her with Carl Betz. Afterward Dusay seeks out McCloud's help, but then he's attacked by a professional hit man and Dusay disappears.

I can't go much beyond this except that both Dusay and Betz are pieces of work. But one of them winds up dead and the other is responsible. And the other nearly does in the visiting marshal.

The suspense is well done in this McCloud story.

When I looked at my DVD I didn't find the particular title that was stated here on IMDb. A bit confused I searched for the storyline about an arrogant Broadway producer so I came across Manhattan Manhunt. It looked like the same story but strangely when the episode started it was also titled Manhattan Manhunt. Again, IMDb said it was just one hour long, but on my DVD (region 2) it took 72 minutes to watch. But when I watched it I also recognised the story about McCloud and a gunman. So here we have it, Manhattan Manhunt is a compilation of Who Says You Can't Make Friends in New York City? and The Stage Is All the World.

The story, as for many McCloud episodes, is rather simple and doesn't have a lot of shootings or pursuits. Still, this episode was watchable but coming from the early seventies couldn't stand the time but being that old it is watchable just to see Time Square back then or here a party going on with some kind of hippies. That part is heavily edited but it worked out fine.

All acting was believable but you could fall over the thing that McCloud is new in the city but always finds his way through New York.

Horse Stealing on Fifth Avenue is never used on region 2 DVD's, the only thing they used from it is here to see, the horseback chase used in all subsequent episode titles.
