Trivia pertaining to Series.The Street

  • The Danza: Bridgette Sampras-Wilson plays broker Bridget Deshiel.
  • Follow-Up Failure: The $treet was considered to be this, compared to the then-recent success of Sex and the City. Some viewers of the former have said that it probably would have done better on HBO or a cable network than FOX.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: The show has never been released on DVD, and the only copies available of episodes are on YouTube.
  • Missing Episode: Only the first six episodes were aired before the series was cancelled. The remaining five episodes only aired on international stations.
  • Star-Making Role: For Rick Hoffman, who played Fred Sacker. The success of the series jumpstarted his career.
  • Technology Marches On:
    • One scene in the pilot establishes that the brokers are using Windows 95-enabled machines, which they constantly reference as top-of-the-line tech needed to do their jobs. It was already out-of-date by the time the show premiered (in late 2000, near the time Windows ME was released) - even moreso now.
    • One conversation between Sherman and Divack has the latter pull out a PalmPilot and tap away at the screen with a stylus, causing the former to eye it curiously.
  • Unfinished Episode: The intended series finale, "Framed", was written and cast, but never filmed.
