- TriviaWhen there are close-ups of Elizabeth's hands while preparing food, those belong to Food Consultant and chef Courtney McBroom. She also prepared all of the food that Elizabeth makes in the series. Brie Larson is best friends with Courtney and asked if she'd be interested in being involved in the production.
- GoofsThe Rowing Erg Machine wasn't invented until 1981 and thus would never have been spoken of in the 1950s.
Correction: The first known use of erg was in 1873. Calvin built his own machine, and erg was used in reference to it- they weren't speaking of a manufactured model that contained "erg" in the name. It's quite possible that they were using the term erg in a general context.

Featured review
A delight
So incredibly refreshing. No blood, no guts, no shoot-outs, no bombs, no high-speed car chases, no gratuitous violence or sex, just sheer entertainment. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who was involved in bringing this to the TV screen.
Brie Larson is superb. In fact, the entire cast is spot on and contributes so much to bringing this show to life. Sets are great and the whole feel of the series takes one back to what I imagine was California way back then.
Not being American, I hope that the warm interracial connections depicted were really like that - if not viewers should watch and learn and embrace. Oh, and I just love six-thirty!
