Singles/Trivia


 * Hey, It's That Guy!:
 * Jeremy Piven plays the clerk at the drugstore that Steve stops by at one point. Also, Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament, and Stone Gossard all play themselves as Cliff's bandmembers. Finally, Bill Pullman as the plastic surgeon that Janet visits.
 * Chris Cornell showing up to watch Cliff's car stereo misadventure, and Tim Burton as the director of Debbie's dating video.
 * Debbie ends up with Jack Bristow, and her roommate is Dr. Sam Waters.
 * Recycled: the Series: Ultimately averted, as Crowe felt that turning Singles into a series was a poor idea. The production company decided, rather than giving up on the notion, to retool the concept and gave the central characters tweaked personalities, altered some of the interpersonal relationships, transplanted the show to New York City, and changed the name to Friends.
 * Unintentional Period Piece: Counting the ways:
 * Grunge and alt-rock is everywhere.
 * Flannel is practically a dress code requirement (although somewhat Truth in Television in Seattle to this day).
 * The dating service that Debbie uses involves VHS tapes instead of any variety of video disc or the Internet.
 * Reference is made to building airplanes, as Boeing used to be by far the largest employer in the Seattle area (Boeing since has left the area; tech companies such as Nintendo, Microsoft, and Amazon are the local heavyweights now).
 * Steve's friend David storing phone numbers on his watch, as opposed to a cell phone.
