Trivia / Point Pleasant

• California Doubling: For New Jersey... and it shows. Point Pleasant is a family-oriented beach resort, has no piers, and about the only thing it shares with Orange County, California is its political conservatism. As a matter of fact, nothing about this show seems to represent any understanding of either the town or the Jersey Shore in general. Local residents — and the entire state for that matter — were not pleased, to say the least.
• Screwed by the Network: They gave it 13 episodes, then killed it. Fair enough given its less-than-spectacular ratings, but certainly fitting given that Tru Calling, which had most of the same cast and director, was sacked similarly.
