Added DiffLines:

* FakeMixedRace: In the episode "Pool", Jennifer Garner plays a woman with a white mother and African-American father. (For what it's worth, it's a plot point that she's been passing as white her whole life and didn't even know herself that she had mixed heritage.)


Added DiffLines:

* RealLifeRelative: In the episode "Pool", the actor playing the wedding celebrant is Fred A. Keller, the father of the episode's director [[Creator/FrederickKingKeller Fred K. Keller]].


Added DiffLines:

* SerendipityWritesThePlot: In the episode "Pool", Miss Parker's father decides to hold a family dinner party -- at his daughter's house, without discussing it with her first. Behind the scenes, this was almost certainly because the interior of Miss Parker's house was an established set and the interior of her father's wasn't, but it works well for the episode, inspiring a few moments that illustrate Miss Parker's relationship with her father and other family members.

Added DiffLines:

* CaliforniaDoubling: Jarod's adventures take him all over the United States, but the filming locations are rarely in the same place that the stories are set. One specific instance is that the Centre is in Delaware but the exteriors of the building are actually filmed in Ontario.


Added DiffLines:

* HeyItsThatPlace: The external view of the Centre is the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant in Ontario, which has appeared in numerous films and TV series as a corporate headquarters, prison, or hospital.

* DVDCommentary: Creator/MichaelTWeiss and Andrea Parker's commentary for the second season two-parter "Bloodlines," which is two hours of riffing on {{plot hole}}s, [[IdiotBall moronic characters]], {{glurge}}, and [[Film/TheSixthSense Haley Joel Osment]]'s acting, is positively hilarious.
