I just started watching the reboot/revival and am only now realizing the significance of some of the character names:
- John, the baby, likely named to honor John Mahoney
- They named the bar after Mahoney as well.
- Moose, the firefighter, named after the dog that played Eddie
- David Crane is obviously named after DHP
I’m only on the 4th episode, so there may be more I missed or haven’t noticed yet.
I think David was named in the original series after David Angell, who perished in the 9/11 attack along with his wife.
Possibly, yeah. They did honor Angell in a closing title card during the original airing. I guess it could be both. :shrug:
Well they had named the kid David before the original series even ended if I’m not mistaken.
All I remember is Roz picking the name Ichabod on the form when they were pre-registering him for the boujie school before he was born. lol.
And Niles worrying about the dreaded glottal stop if they named him Jack Crane.
