Trivia:

When Denny Crane is put on the "No-Fly" list by the Transportation Safety Administration of the US Department of Homeland Security, it is because he has the same name as a suspected terrorist. The suspected terrorist is "a Canadian citizen who converted to Island and took up Jihad". Denny Crane is played by William Shatner who is himself a Canadian born actor.

Goofs:

Continuity: In one scene, Alan and Denise are talking in the corridor, while Denise is writing in law brief. From one camera angle, the pages of the brief are flipped up over the back cover, and from another angle, they are not.

Quotes:

Denny Crane: I can't fly.
Alan Shore: You're just discovering this?
