- Natasha Melnick (Sabrina) joins a handful of 'lawki' guest stars that have previously worked with 'lawki' producers Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah. Natasha previously guest starred on Undeclared, and Freaks and Geeks. Both shows were also produced by Sachs and Judah.
  EDIT SHARE
- Beginning with this episode, ABC moved the show from Thursdays at 9pm, to 8pm; this is likely the move that killed any chances for the show getting renewed, as it had to go up against Fox's The O.C., which many life as we know it viewers watched.
