* ApprovalOfGod: Series creator Maureen Jennings is a big fan of the series, even though it's different in many ways from her original novels. She has served as a creative consultant throughout the show's run and has even directly co-written a few scripts. She has also declared that Yannick Bisson looks ''exactly'' the way she imagined Murdoch in the novels...except for the moustache she always gave him.

** Canadian business tycoon Arlene Dickenson is one of the regulars on the Canadian version of ''DragonsDen''. She appears in one episode as a wealthy investor that Crabtree is trying to interest in the lie detector Murdoch has invented. Unfortunately, when the machine doesn't detect any lies (because everyone Murdoch used it on was telling the truth), she declines Crabtree's offer and walks off, saying the "I'm out" CatchPhrase the Dragons use when they show they're not interested.
