Trivia / Sports Night S 01 E 04 Intellectual Property

• First Appearance: Of Ted McGinley as Gordon.
• Production Posse: Ted McGinley, who plays Gordon, went on to play Mark Gottfried on The West Wing.
• What Could Have Been: Thomas Schlamme wanted to end the episode with an overhead shot of Dana that would pull up, as if it was from the point of view of a fly. Aaron Sorkin overruled him, pointing out it would be funnier, and more ambiguous, if Dana simply reacted the same way as Casey, leaving the viewer to wonder if there really was a fly or if Dana, like Casey, was being crazy.
