The pilot was filmed in Texas...which becomes very obvious when we first see Roger coming up the escalator. The big tower with the metal lattice-work ball on top (seen at screen right and reflected at screen left) is world-famous Reunion Tower in downtown Dallas. The broadcast tower right next to it says (in big red letters) "WFAA" which is the *ABC* affiliate in Dallas. edit »

LAX was once the 3rd busiest airport in the world, but after serving 54,982,838 passengers in 2003, it has since been relegated to #5: behind Atlanta/Hartsfield-Jackson, Chicago/O'Hare, London/Heathrow, and Tokyo/Haneda.

The advertisment shown about LAX would however be correct if it chose to state that LAX was the 3rd busiest airport in the USA, as opposed to in the world. edit »
Scenes of this show are filmed on an artificial set; as well as on-location at Los Angeles International, Ontario International, and Dallas-Ft.Worth International airports. edit »
