Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Miss Parker is played by Andrea Parker, who previously was cast in the pilot of JAG as Lieutenant Parker. Doubles as The Danza, obviously. Interestingly, both are unintentional, as the character of Miss Parker was named before she was cast.
In the first-season episode "Jaraldo!", Lisa Howard plays a reporter who befriends Jarod. In Days of Our Lives, Lisa Howard played April Ramirez, a love interest to Michael T. Weiss' character Dr. Mike Horton.
Mr Raines's favorite Mook, Willie (played by Willie Gault), and Miss Parker's favorite Mook, Sam (played by Sam Ayers).
Miss Parker herself is played by Andrea Parker, but this is a coincidence: the character was named before she was cast.
Fake Brit: Pamela Gidley as Mr Lyle's sidekick, Brigitte. After half a season, the writers had Brigitte drop the accent and admit that she'd been putting it on all along, to the lampshade-festooned unsurprise of every other character who had ever heard her speak.
Technology Marches On: Jarod's library of mini-discs was a lot more impressively high-tech when the show started than it is to a viewer now.
Write Who You Know: "Gigolo Jarod" has an in-universe example, when it's revealed that Jarod has written a novel, The Saddest Little Valentine, whose protagonist is basically Miss Parker.
Written in Infirmity: In "Dragon House", a handyman Jarod talks to happens to have his arm in a cast — because the actor broke the arm shortly before filming.
