Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Rob Thomas created this after being fired from his teaching job; network interference forced a more procedural structure mid-season, killing its weird energy.

Cultural

The 2009 revival with Bobby Cannavale lasted 7 episodes—proving Cupid himself cannot make this premise stick on network television twice.
