Line 49:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Arguably Tom Shayes. He is one of the few characters in the series with black and white morals and he gets little to no respect for it. {{spoiler|He even gets [[Killed Off for Real]] in Season 3!}}
* [[Broken Bird]]: Ellen by the end of season 1, and it's heavily hinted that Patty has this in her backstory.
* [[Career Resurrection]]: For [[Ted Danson]]. While he hadn't completley gone away after ''Cheers'' he had sort of fallen into has been territory with parts in unsuccesful films, a failed sitcom (''Ink''), a fairly unpopular one (''Becker'') and cameos as himself on ''[[Curb Your Enthusiasm]]''. However, when the first season of ''Damages'' made it onto the air though critics couldn't stop talking about his suprisingly strong dramatic performance as Arthur Frobisher which gained Danson his first Emmy nomination in 15 years (including two more for his guest appearances in the subsequent seasons).
** This renewed exposure also helped gain him a supporting role in the HBO sitcom ''[[Bored to Death]]'' and in the fall or 2011 he'll be taking the lead role on ''CSI''.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The phone calls one of the FBI agents in season 2 keeps on getting and says are from his wife actually end up being important.
* [[Cleanup Crew]]: Uncle Pete calls one in to {{spoiler|get rid of the evidence that someone attacked Ellen}}.
