1!!The series
2* AbilityOverAppearance: Briggs was originally visualized by the creator as Native American, and according to Jeff Eastin, there were several bits in the original script about his "long, flowing Comanche hair." However, halfway through Sunjata's audition, he couldn't picture anyone else ''but'' him as Briggs.
3* ActorAllusion: Mike tells Abby that he's a pilot. Aaron Tveit originated the role of Frank Abegnale Jr. in the Broadway musical adaptation of ''Film/CatchMeIfYouCan'', where one of his false identities is as a pilot.
4* CaliforniaDoubling: A rather odd inversion. The show takes place in Southern California, and the pilot ''was'' filmed there, but the remainder of the show is filmed in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
5* FakeNationality: Averted. Despite Vanessa Ferlito's tendency to frequently play Latinos, she's playing an Italian for a change.

8* CareerResurrection: Despite the controversy surrounding the production, it revived Music/PaulSimon's career.
9* {{Corpsing}}: Paul keeps a straight, even bored, expression throughout the music video for "You Can Call Me Al", except when he cracks a grin when Chevy blows a trumpet right in his face.
