Theodore: Yeah.
Jinny: Then you must have had the dream by now.
Theodore: Uh, wh-what dream?
Jinny: Oh, you know. The one all new ADAs have. Packed courtroom. Everyone you know is there: parents, siblings, friends, professors. Stand up to address the jury. They all start laughing at you! I mean, we're not talking little girlie giggles, Theodore. We are talking earsplitting, humiliation-inducing derision here.
Theodore: Why?
Jinny: Because your buck naked, my friend! All right, Teddy just exactly how nervous are you?
- The show is about women police officers in San Francisco. In real life, many locker rooms for women cops were converted men's rooms. Many cops put plants in the old toilets and urinals because the fixtures were never removed. In the first season of the show, the locker room for the women was a converted men's room that featured plants in a old urinal stall.
- Three series regulars became pregnant during the run of the show. The pregnancies of Lisa Vidal and Lela Rochon were hidden but the pregnancy of Nancy McKeon was portrayed.
- After airing an episode called "Testimonial" (episode 3.5) that featured actual sexual abuse survivors telling their stories on camera, calls to the National Sexual Assault Hotline surged 75 percent.
- On the B.S Report podcast (02/04/09) on ESPN.com, Jon Hamm referred to the show as "Five Vaginas and a Dick".
- When actor Scott Plank, who had a recurring role on the series died in a car accident, the producers decided not to recast his role and did an episode dealing with his character's death. The episode became a tribute to the actor.
