Closer Trivia



The airing of the pilot, and seasons 2 & 3 premieres were aired commercial free.

Brenda's ugly oatmeal colored sweater is actually a kind of security blanket.  Like when The Dude in The Big Lebwoski puts on his sunglasses when he gets peeved, she throws on the sweater when she gets stressed.

Former Los Angeles county D. A. Gil Garcetti is a Consulting Producer for the show.

Sadly, the cat that played Kitty, really did have an incurable kidney ailment (basically renal failure) and passed away only days after Kitty is put to sleep on the show.  The cat's owners were grateful to the show that the illness was actually written into the show.

Each season of the show has an over-arching theme according to Executive Producer James Duff.  The are:
 
     Season 1:  A woman in a man's world
     Season 2:  Partnerships
     Season 3:  Family
     Season 4:  Meditations on power
     Season 5:  Change
     Season 6:  Adjustments

One can only assume that Season 7 will be about severance.

Lt. Provenza has been married 4 times.  Once to a Liz who he says always had to be right.  Once to a Heather who he says always corrected his grammar, and twice (2nd and 4th marriages) to the same woman.

In one scene Brenda fights to resist Krispy Kreme doughnuts that she sees on Tao's desk.  At the time that brand of doughnuts was new to California distribution.  They originate in the South and was obviously placed in the episode as an allusion to Brenda's southern origins.
