Trivia for
"Good Morning, Miami" (2002) More at IMDbPro »

• The character of Jake Silver (a hotshot who comes to a dying morning show to re-vamp it) is based on the real-life NBC producer Jeff Zucker who re-vitalized "The Today Show".
  
  
• The "Good Morning, Miami" morning news-show format itself was inspired by Max and David Kohan's personal experience producing a morning talk-show called "Mike & Matty".
  
  
• After the first few epsiodes, the characters of Lucia and Sister Brenda Trogman were phased out and eventually cut out, to simplify the ensemble.
  
  
• Though unsuccessful and unacclaimed, the show lasted in the coveted Thursday "Must See TV" lineup for an entire season.
  
  
• The show contained numerous references to Feuerstein's earlier work. There is a moment where he chews out Gavin in front of the audience and Penny remarks, "That's one Fired Up little yuppie!" (a reference to his role on the short-lived sit-com "Fired Up"), a moment where he drinks hard liquor and his voice gets hoarse (he did the same thing after eating food that was too spicy in "Woman on Top"). And he remarks that his hair highlights are natural (which he also did in "What Women Want").
  
  
• After 9 episodes were aired in the 2nd season this show was canceled and didn't get to finish airing the rest of the 18 episodes that were ordered for the 2nd season.
  
  
• Heather Locklear was originally offered the role of Victoria Hill, much like her Caitlin Moore role on "Spin City" (1996) for the second season of "Good Morning, Miami" (2002). She said she liked the show, but turned down the role. The part was then given to Tiffani Thiessen.
