Did You Know

Although Season 3 includes one of the biggest turning points in the entire series, the creators intentionally avoided portraying history with complete accuracy. Creator Tony McNamara continued his “An Occasionally True Story” philosophy, using real historical figures as inspiration while freely changing timelines, personalities, and events to create compelling drama and comedy.
