What's left behind the scenes

  • The first pilot episode failed, and Dave Andron became one of the project's creators and the showrunner. Following this, another pilot episode was filmed with some changes to the cast.
  • According to showrunner Dave Andron, the creators initially intended to make the characters' wardrobes exactly match 1980s fashion; however, they eventually decided to omit details such as massive shoulder pads, which would have distracted a modern audience. (A showrunner is an executive producer responsible for the primary direction and development of a project.)
  • The series takes place in Los Angeles in 1983, shortly before the city was swept by the crack cocaine epidemic.
  • "Snow" is slang for cocaine.
