HBO wanted to pick up the series, but creator Chris Thompson and Joel Silver elected to go with Fox's higher-budgeted air order instead. Fox ended up airing only 8 shows before the series was canceled, with the remaining 5 episodes left to air on the FX cable network.
Was originally intended to air on HBO, with Oliver Platt as Peter. Fox was offered the show in order to convince HBO to give them more money.
The original plan was to do a season that showed the making of "Beverly Hills Gun Club" and then actually show the finished movie on Fox.
Peter (Jay Mohr) and Wendy (Illeana Douglas) share their names with the main characters in James M. Barrie's 1904 play "Peter Pan: or, The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up."
The characters of Peter Dragon and Bobby D. are loosely based on real-life Hollywood heavyweights Joel Silver (who is an Executive Producer of the series) and Barry Diller.
