Trivia:

Different theme songs have been used, depending on where, how or when the show is viewed. In Australia, Portugal, UK, Netherlands and other countries the theme song is Let It Ride by Charlie Clouser, while in other countries, such as the USA and Canada, the theme song is A Little Less Conversation (the Junkie XL mix) by Elvis Presley. For the American DVD as well as the episodes available for viewing on NBC's website, the Clouser song is used. Occasionally, there have been different opening songs for some episodes. For example, the Season 4 show, "Pharoah 'Nuff" opened with Crazy Bitch by 'BuckCherry' .

Goofs:

Errors in geography: Exterior images of the Montecito place it at the South end of Las Vegas Boulevard near Mandalay Bay while most interior shots (noticed through the windows) place it closer to the North end of Las Vegas Boulevard near The Mirage and The Venetian.

Quotes:

Danny: Don't be so gullible next time.
Delinda: Look who's talking. You thought that sleeping together meant I loved you.

Best New TV Series of 2003

This is the best new TV series released to the networks for the 2003 season.

The writing is interesting, characters got developed this season, plot lines were intriguing, and there was comic relief. Check out this show if you have not already seen it on Monday nites.

What I like best about this series is Josh Dahumel. Not only is he eye candy but a good actor, he is fun to watch and you find yourself engrossed in the show. Apparently they have built an elaborate set in Culver City to film some of these scenes, but you can't tell the real shots from the studio shots. They do a good job masking the transition when they show panorama shots of Vegas itself. I often wonder when I view this show, how big their budget is for extras because they do a good job emulating a big casino. This series is strictly entertainment and as long as your expectations are not as lofty as the other reviewer, you will not be disappointed.
