Can you imagine Alanis Morissette's "Hand in My Pocket" as the theme song to Dawson's Creek?!
Tori said Aaron would always say, "Let them see it in your eyes before they hear it in your words."
According to the late actor, Aaron watched the first episode (which didn't feature the character of Dylan) and felt something was missing from the show. After Dylan was introduced, Aaron knew that he was the missing element in the series and made the network hire Luke.
They agreed to do it, but only if it was done by a black writer. The two then meet with Yvette Lee Bowser, who had came up with the show idea after meeting with them, and the rest is TV history.
According to Scott, the producers never wanted the name of the show in the theme song, but he never got that note, so he incorporated "saved by the bell" into the song. Also, Scott wrote all music used throughout the entire series.
The show's producers changed it from speed to caffeine pills after NBC's standards department deemed it too dark for a kids show.
Both Tim and Patricia felt the show had more than run its course and didn't want to do another season that felt forced just for the paycheck.
The plane plotline was scrapped after someone actually tried to use a small plane to crash into the White House. The bomb plotline ended up also being an issue because of the Oklahoma City bombing (which occurred a few weeks before the episode aired). Originally, they were going to show the building blowing up, but instead they cut the episode right before the explosion and made the explosion part of the Season 4 opener.
Eventually the ER script was discovered by the president of Steven’s Amblin Television division, who thought it would make a good pilot for a TV show.
Steve was only supposed to appear in one episode, so Family Matters' co-creator, Michael Warren, decided to name the character after his friend (who was named Steve Erkel) as a joke. When the character's popularity took off, it made the real Steve Erkel's life difficult because he would constantly get prank calls and people assumed he was using a fake name whenever he gave his name.
The show had a very low budget, so to work around it, they filmed all of the scenes (various reactions and dialogue) with David Fielding, who played Zordon, in one day and then never filmed him again.
