Trivia
- The pilot episode was released in screener form for test audiences and members of the entertainment industry to preview the show and drum up business. The screener was subsequently leaked onto the Internet, and thus has received a much wider critical review process than initially conceived.
- Cast and filmed in the series pilot as married next-door neighbour Allison, actress Ashley Scott was released when test audiences responded poorly to her character. The role was renamed as Alex, recast (with the role now played by Andrea Anders), and her scenes in the pilot reshot in July 2004. The episode aired in September 2004 was this reshot version.
