• Sophia Bush (Brooke Davis) doesn't appear in this episode, although she is featured in the opening credits. She would be introduced in episode two, despite being a series regular.
  
• One Tree Hill (or Ravens as it was originally named) was first created to be a 2 hour movie.
  
• Production on this new series began on August 12, 2003 on the first episode after the pilot.
  
• The series One Tree Hill, was originally scheduled to debut midseason on the WB but was shifted to fall when replacing new series Fearless, which had production problems and was not able to bow out in time for fall.
  
• Number: 23
  This episode airs on Sept. 23, 2003. 23 is an important number in One Tree Hill. Nathan's jersey number is 23, like former NBA player, Michael Jordan.
  
• The guy on the bridge that runs with the ball in the beginning of the episode (and that we can see in all credits) is played not by Chad Michael Murray but by Mark Schwahn's friend.
  
• The piercing in Nathan's left nipple is fake.
  
• When Peyton's in her room playing with the photo on her computer, the guy in the photo is Mark Schwahn, who is the creator and executive producer of the show.
  
• In the original pilot, Lucas Scott's best friend was named Reagan and played by Samantha Shelton, but then after the show was added to the fall schedule, the character was renamed to Haley James and was recasted.
  
• You can also see Samantha Shelton in the crowd scenes when Nathan and Lucas are playing their one on one game.
  
• In the scene where Whitey comes into the library to call Lucas into the gym to join the team, you can actually see the character of Reagan, (Samantha Shelton) who was recasted before the pilot aired. She is sitting on the left side of Lucas, and looks at Lucas when Whitey calls his name, but doesn't say anything.
  
• "Karen's Cafe" used to be Jen's Radio Station on Dawson's Creek.
  
• The gym in which they play basketball is the one where Michael Jordan played high school basketball. As soon as they learned this, the producers decided to use it for the show.
  
• When Lucas comes home after the game with Nathan he sees his mom waiting for him. He throws the basketball onto the porch to hug his mom. Then they turn to go inside and Lucas leaves his basketball outside.
  
• The reason Peyton gets in on the drivers' side of the truck is because there was a alligator/crocodile on the passengers' side so Hilarie Burton couldn't get in that way. -- it says that in season 1's extra's of the DVD.
  
• The Perfect Score: James Lafferty (Nathan) was cast for One Tree Hill after meeting with Mark Schwahn for auditions on the motion picture, The Perfect Score. James lost that part to his current co-star on the show, Bryan Greenberg (Jake).
