Line 206:
** Joss wanted to do this for the pilot with Jessie but it was shot down.
* ''[[You Can't Do That on Television]]'' episodes almost always started off with a title card for pre-empted shows that were cancelled, usually pop culture parodies related to the theme of the episode. For example, the episode, "Wildlife and Animals":
{{quote| "''Wild Wild Kingdom'' will not be seen at this time. In its place, we present a program in which people act like animals."}}
** This concept was swiped wholesale from the first six seasons of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. ("''Charlie's Angels Get The Syph'' will not be seen tonight...")
* Peter DeLuise mentions this is in commentary track for one of the episodes of the first season of ''[[21 Jump Street (TV series)|21 Jump Street]]''. The credits feature a bunch of gunplay and a car flipping over. However the series was mostly about undercover work and centered around sedate dialog-driven scenes. The car flipping over was one of the most expensive scenes shot for the series, and was really the only one of its kind.
