The shot of the Minnow leaving the harbor in the first-season opening titles 
was shot in Honolulu a couple days after the assassination -- there's a flag at 
half-mast that's briefly visible in the background. (A year later, they reshot 
the opening in color for the second season, but that time they only traveled as 
far as Long Beach, California.)
