Line 24:
* [[Author Existence Failure]]: Writer David Mills died of a brain aneurysm while on set. Mills also worked on acclaimed series like ''[[The Wire]]'', ''NYPD Blue'', ''Homicide'' and was the creator of the tv series ''Kingpin''
** Also happens in-universe: {{spoiler|After Harley is murdered, Annie discovers a large collection of unfinished songs in his apartment, and attempts to finish them herself.}}
* [[Bad Cop, Incompetent Cop]]: The NOPD does not look very good in this series, though given the creators' pervious work, the subject was bound to come up. Offenses include brutality, stealing property, and attempted bribery. Even before Katrina, this sort of behavior was far from out-of-character for the NOPD. Several characters say as much throughout the series. New Orleans natives might say this is [[Truth in Television]].
** David Morse's character, an 8th District watch commander, seems to be set up as the exception that proves the rule. (Although this being a [[David Simon]] production, something terrible could always happen.) This is also [[Truth in Television]], as the 8th District covers the French Quarter and NOPD makes an effort to staff it with competent, honest cops.
* [[Based on a True Story]]: In addition to the [[Real Life]] musicians, at least one character (John Goodman's professor Bernette) is based on a real person. Also subverted; fans speculated that Sonny and Annie were based on a real musician couple who broke up a few months after the hurricane, followed by the man murdering the woman and then jumping off a hotel roof a few days later. The producers have thoroughly denied it, and the real event is mentioned in season two.
Line 66:
** This is because the repair in place at the time of the pilot was very temporary. Local viewers are recalling the much longer permanent fix that was done after the pilot.
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: One ad had upbeat music while the camera panned over a devastated row of houses.
* [[Shout
* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: Annie's first attempt at songwriting accidentally rips off Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right."
* [[Ted Baxter]]: Davis likes to pretend that he is really hip and a great musician when in reality he's just a DJ on a local radio station.
* [[Too Soon]]: There are some folks who've left New Orleans and can not watch the show or anything dealing with Katrina.
* [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]]: Davis again.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: "Wish Someone Would Care"
** "What Is New Orleans?" is season two's.
* [[What Exactly Is His Job?|What, Exactly, Is Your Job?]]: {{spoiler|Asked by Nelson's cousin to him in the season 2 finale. See [[Armor-Piercing Question]].}}
