J.J. Becomes a Man: Part 2 - S2-E3

Visible crew/equipment: While J.J. is in the police station cell with the mean prisoner who had beaten up five guys, J.J. quips, "A hundred prisoners in the jail, and I got to be in a cell with George Foreman." Then, in the next shot, the boom mic dips into view at the top right side of the screen. (00:12:25)

J.J. Becomes a Man: Part 2 - S2-E3

Visible crew/equipment: At the police station, when Florida is begging James to borrow money from the loan shark, she and James stand up; Florida is on the left, James the right. At the top of Florida's head behind her, you can see the microphone dip into view overhead, and it moves quickly out of the frame. Then it's visible again as Florida and James walk toward the loan shark. (00:18:00 - 00:33:00)

The Gang: Part 1 - S2-E9

Question: According to the credits, the smallest of the three Satan Knights that come over to get JJ is nicknamed "Sweet Pea." However this name is never mentioned by anyone in this episode. The other two are mentioned (Mad Dog and Neck Bone). Why would the credits use a name not used?

Answer: Could have very well been that he did have a speaking part, but ended up on the cutting room floor, and they just didn't fix the credits.

Answer: He did have a speaking part many times throughout the episode, but gang name simply not used (just his real first name by Florida). James even referred to him in the start of the next episode by saying "Neck Bone and that other character."
