There is a lot of Burbank and the backlot in this pilot--far more than we would see in the first couple of seasons.

There are numerous Warner artifacts in the film too, including a "Band of Angels" movie poster, a Warner Bros. cartoon ("Jeepers Creepers") and songs from the Warner catalogue: "Embraceable You," "I'll String Along with You," "When Your Lover Has Gone," "You're Getting to be a Habit with Me." Stu drives a '57 Ford convertible, went to Columbia University, held a teaching job at Stanford and likes to cook Russian food.
