* ActorLeavesCharacterDies: Creator/AnnabelleAttanasio did not return for Season 3 due to filming commitments for another project. Her character Cable [[spoiler:is brutishly killed off]]. It's a kick to the chest considering the cliffhanger it proceeded and the show already had a chance to write her out and nearly followed through. They didn't let her get to hop on a bus. It's a "screw you" nobody wanted to see, because she had it bad enough already. The MST3KMantra needs to be chanted aplenty to heal from this affront for many.

* ActorAllusion: Bull, in the premiere, mentions that he'd like to be addressed as "Boss". That is how his character, Tony [=DiNozzo=], would address Gibbs on ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' as well as a title Tony would hold on occasion. In "Never Saw the Sign", Bull even pronounces the name 'David' for Michelangelo's statue as 'Daveed', the pronunciation of the surname of NCIS character Ziva David, who was close to Tony.



* YouMightRememberMeFrom: Creator/MichaelWeatherly starred as Special Agent Anthony [=DiNozzo=] on ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' for 13 years prior to starring on ''Series/{{Bull}}''. And before that he was Logan Cale, the guy who could never have sex with Creator/JessicaAlba (for complicated reasons) in ''Series/DarkAngel''.

to:

* TroubledProduction: It was initially planned for Creator/ElizaDushku to frequently appear as a central character, but Dushku balked at inappropriate behavior by Creator/MichaelWeatherly that she regarded as sexual harassment. She was subsequently written out of the series after just a few appearances, and Creator/{{CBS}} paid a monetary settlement to Dushku that was not publicized until a few years after the fact. After Weatherly issued a denial, Dushku went into further detail, claiming Weatherly engaged in rape humor, made several distasteful comments about her appearance, and flaunted his close ties to CBS boss Les Moonves (himself recently ousted over allegations of sexual misconduct).
