| 1 | !Trivia for the TV series ''Series/{{Flashpoint}}'': |
| 2 | * TheCastShowoff: |
| 3 | ** Creator/CleBennett got to show off his singing skills in the very first episode he's in as a cop. |
| 4 | ** Creator/AmyJoJohnson and Creator/HughDillon both have songs in the background of the show, with Jules getting a shout out from a character when her song was used. |
| 5 | * ChannelHop: In the United States, ''Flashpoint'' moved from Creator/{{CBS}} to Creator/IonTelevision. [[http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2011/09/12/ion-television-premieres-hit-police-drama-flashpoint-with-original-episodes-tuesday-october-18-at-10pm-et-pt-691200/20110912ion01/ New episodes began airing on October 18, 2011.]] |
| 6 | * GeniusBonus: Almost all the references to locations involve actual roads and neighbourhoods and many of the downtown buildings are very recognizable, meaning someone with enough familiarity with Toronto can actually trace the fictional action of an episode -- even [[ArtisticLicenseGeography when it doesn't make sense]]. |
| 7 | * ScrewedByTheNetwork: CBS broadcasted the show in the US but never kept seasons together, instead airing parts at a time and without pause between season. Basically, it was treated as summer filler. (Not entirely surprising since it was purchased during a writers' strike, when original content was hard to come by in the United States.) [[Creator/IonTelevision Ion]] now has American rights to air the episodes after "Shockwaves," so perhaps they'll air it more evenly. |
| 8 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: The [[http://leethomson.myzen.co.uk/Flashpoint_1x01.pdf Original Pilot Script.]] included a romantically involved Jules and Ed (!) and a Sam who enjoys knitting (!!!), as well as other (more minor) changes. In an interview given by the series writers, it is also revealed they spent a lot of time working on the characters' romantic lives, and that Donna was initially going to be a negative force and a danger to the team that shook the trust and foundation of the SRU: [[http://playbackonline.ca/2012/12/13/in-the-writers-room-with-flashpoint/ In the writers' room with Flashpoint.]] |
