The Chris Isaak Show Season 3 Episode 1

1.  Like we saw in the episodes for season two, Chris' house has undergone yet another change this season.  The kitchen now sports green tile instead of the blue that was installed for season two. Bimbo's as well, seems to have had a bit of
a face-lift, and we actually see much more of it this season than we have in the past. Where in previous episodes
the showroom appeared larger with room for tables to be placed around the floor, the place now has booths along the sides and toward the back of the venue. Both areas are on raised platforms with lights around the borders. In addition, Kenney's platform now has a wooden façade in front of it, as opposed to the black drape that covered it in season two. The dining room, as well, has been spiffed
up a bit. There are new drapes hanging on the walls, some of the lighting has been changed, and the booths appear new,
as well.

2.  Okay, so I know
it's only for effect…  ;-)  But, when Chris opens the drapes on the
window frame for his new cabin in the woods, we see that the drapes actually
open on what would eventually be the outside of the cabin.  We can clearly see the foundation forms
through the window as Chris tells Kenney, "Step out on the patio in the mornin'
and have your tea with the pines." 
Granted, he could be looking out the window to the patio, but there is
next to no space behind the pair as they step through the window frame and onto
the ground that will eventually be the inside of Chris' new cabin.

3.  As the bus carrying the band pulls up to the
front of the casino, the name "Oasis Hotel and Casino" (in large, likely
lighted letters,) can clearly be seen on the far-right wall of the
building.  This side is awash in
sunlight, making the name very easy to read. 
It's also possible to read the word "Yomo" in very small letters, right
in front of the word "Hotel" on that same side.  It's unsure at this time whether that was added to the building
for this episode, or not…  The front of
the casino, says "Yomo Hotel," though that side of the building is in shadow,
thereby making the name difficult to see. 
The name "Yomo Hotel" can be seen more easily on this side of the
building in the closing scene as the band heads for home after the gig.  For what it's worth, both names appear to be
fictional, as is the "Kahoosh" tribe.

4.  As Roly and
Hershel make their way through the Casino (presumably after they've checked
into their rooms,) we see behind them a stage… that's already set up with the
band's equipment.  It would appear that
the "Yomo Hotel and Casino" is SO small… they don't have a proper
showroom.  :-)

5.  Honestly, I've
never seen oven mitts for sale at a Chris Isaak concert…  at least, not during the period of time that
would coincide with the filming of this episode.

6.  As Chris and the
band leave the casino, a day or two after their arrival, the same two quartets
are seen exiting (or already outside) the casino, both groups wearing the same
costumes seen in the band's arrival sequence. 
While this may be fine for the group in the red and white striped
costumes, it's not correct for Ben's group, "The Fremont Four."  Why? 
In an earlier scene, Ben tells Yola that his group didn't make it to the
finals… if this is true, why would they need to be in costume at this point?

7.  On a side note,
the agency Chris and Kenney refer to in their discussion in the green room at
Bimbos, "the board of Indian Affairs," doesn't exist, at least not at the
federal level.  There is, however, a
"Bureau of Indian Affairs," and you can find them at:  http://www.doi.gov/bureau-indian-affairs.html.  Their responsibility is the administration and management of 55.7 million
acres of land held in trust by the United States for American Indians, Indian
tribes, and Alaska Natives.  So, Chris'
issue with the artifact found on his property, would have been handled by this
agency.
