  1. "Our regular gamers are geeky enough to get this one." That actually gave it away.

    Felicia Day.  "Charlie Bradbury" was her role in Supernatural.  I think "Holly Marten" might have been her role in Eureka.

    If I'm not mistaken, she started as a blogger or YouTuber and moved to bit roles in shows to more important roles.  She's a cutie.

  2. In 2003, a man named Juan Catalan was arrested for murder in Los Angeles. He repeatedly professed his innocence, and asked to take a polygraph test, a request that the police denied (note: polygraph tests aren't admissible in court). He also had an alibi. He swore that at the time of the murder, he was at Dodger Stadium with his little girl, watching the Dodgers vs. the Braves, but his lawyer was unable to find him in any of the Dodger Vision or FOX footage he subpoenaed. However, he discovered that there was another source of crowd footage: This show, season four, episode six, The Car Pool Lane (2004) had filmed at Dodger Stadium that night. Although Catalan did not make the final cut of the show, his lawyer was finally able to find him and his daughter in the outtakes, and determined from the timestamps on the tapes that Catalan could not have been the killer. When told that his show had released a wrongfully accused man from prison and a trial that could have led to the death penalty, the star commented, "I tell people that I've now done one decent thing in my life, albeit inadvertently." The documentary Long Shot (2017) is about these events.

    There is no script to each episode, just a heavily detailed plot outline, which the actors and actresses all improvise. On average, each scene will require between seven or eight takes, which is very high for a television series on a tight schedule.

    Whenever the main character inevitably finds himself lying to his wife about his latest convoluted mishap, the actress is as genuinely in the dark, as her character. That's because she is not privy to the full script outline, only being exposed to her own scenes.

    This current HBO show is in its last season.

    The show is semi-autobiographical.

    The star apparently didn't want fans to think Seinfeld 2.0 was coming, knowing that people can have unnecessary expectations.
