Episode Notes

After this episode aired, the series went on hiatus yet again. On May 15th, 2000, the show was officially canceled. Although unaired episodes were scheduled on many occasions, NBC kept jerking the show around before airing "The Pigeon" in July, basically unannounced. Due to understandably abysmal ratings of that airing, four of the episodes were never officially aired in the USA.

Guest star Dina Waters (who previously guest-starred in "The Crush") was credited as Dina Spybey. Dina went on to star in the sitcom version of "Greg the Bunny," which was co-created by "Stark" creator Steven Levitan.
