* HarsherInHindsight: The staff meeting scene where Larry Levy basically says that writers aren't really necessary for the filmmaking process, and demonstrates it by coming up with film premises by applying standard plot formulas to random news stories. Three decades later, the unveiling of advanced AI models like [=ChatGPT=] immediately led to fears in the writing community that studios would use AI to generate full screenplays doing ''exactly'' the same thing Levy was doing. This became one of the major issues at stake in the [[UsefulNotes/TVStrikes 2023 Writers' Guild of America strike]].

** Griffin tries to make small-talk with David after watching ''Film/TheBicycleThief'' and says his studio should remake it. David sneers that they'd ruin it (in his opinion) by giving it a happy ending. Since then, there has been a SpiritualSuccessor (although not an official remake) of ''Film/TheBicycleThief'' with a happy ending.

* HilariousInHindsight: This series revolves around the idea that absurdly wealthy people need a deadly outlet like the Game or else they'd start deadly wars out of boredom. Several years later, ''Series/SquidGame'' depicts a similar situation, except those games are much more sadistic.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Minimal advertising compared to other fall season shows from NBC, and then had its episode order cut to 9 instead of the initial 13. Not officially canceled yet, but definitely screwed by the network.
** Officially canceled. Right after airing the final produced episode. Which ends on a cliffhanger.
