Notes
ADD NOTES- Just to make sure, Thespis isn't made up, here is what Grolier's had to say about it: "Thespis (thes'-pis) - Thespis (fl. 6th century BC) was an Attic poet traditionally regarded as the founder of Greek tragedy. Hardly anything is known of him, but he is believed to have introduced the role of an actor--the responder--separate from those of the chorus and chorus leader, which modified dithyrambic performance (exchanges between chorus and leader) by instituting spoken dialogue and thus inventing the drama. The word thespian (actor) is derived from his name." Edit
- Also Dan and Casey discuss their first TV broadcast, 5 years ago in this episode, which they say was called Lone Star Sports. This most likely is a Texas sports show. They've stated many times that they've known each other for ten years so they probably met in college. Dana states she is 33. Edit
- This episode gives away more details about the characters. Besides the 16-year-old daughter described in the last episode, Isaac has an older daughter Cathy, who is married to Douglas, a radar officer in the navy. They live in San Francisco. Edit
