New station owner Big Willy, who's supposed to be a Texan, is played by Richard Hamilton, who was born in Chicago. Bebe Glazer, who's played by Harriet Sansom Harris, was born in Fort Worth, TX. It's unclear where Bebe is supposed to be from, but her accent is definitely not Texan.
The title is based on the proverb: "Where there's smoke, there's fire."
