RJ, Maggie, and Lucas are the only characters to keep their real names for the show.
This project was in development for nearly 4 years before it was finally put into production. During those 4 years, the script for the pilot episode was rewritten 17 times.
During the shooting of the pilot, Scott's character still hadn't been cast. When it came time to shoot his first scenes, Adam Ritter had just happened to be stopping by the set. The directors quickly gave him a script and shot his scenes without even a test reading.
Originally titled Stuck in School
