Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

Filmed in 1999 but eerily prescient of post-9/11 debates about enemy combatants and civilian humanity.

Trivia

Mark Harmon and Pam Dawber's on-screen marriage was one of their few joint appearances; they famously kept work and home separate.
