- Quotes
Hunter Fallow: I think Johnny's really in love. Either that or he's got a surfboard in his shorts.
- Alternate versionsThe pilot episode was altered at the request of Darren Star's former boss, Aaron Spelling. Originally the character of Marcy, played by Lindsay Sloane, was a bulimic redhead who got her job because her uncle was a studio executive. Spelling took offense and thought that it was a reference to his daughter Tori Spelling, who was co-starring on "Beverly Hills, 90210" a series created by Darren Star and produced by Aaron Spelling. Before the pilot aired, Star took out all references to how Marcy got her job and a scene in which Marcy threw up in a limo; he even digitally altered her hair color to be brown. Joely Fisher, who played producer Hope Lustig, was originally credited in the opening titles but removed after the first episode when she decided to leave the show to work on "Normal, Ohio" a sitcom which was canceled. She was billed in four other episodes of "Grosse Pointe" as a Special Guest Star.

Excellent TV Show!!! (A Must See)
So far "Grosse Pointe" seems to be one of those yet undiscovered treasures on television today. This sitcom has it all--a beautiful and funny cast, clever writing, romance, and hilarious comedy. How could you go wrong by watching it?
I personally love the character named Hunter (the one you love to hate). She gives Karen on "Will & Grace" a run for her money as the biggest sitcom diva out there right now.
Dave and Marcy also make the show a lot of fun with their sweet-natured characters. I really enjoy the episodes that center around these two's star-crossed situation.
Do yourself a favor and check out the best kept secret on primetime television. This show often seems even better than the shows that it parodies. If you like "Dawson's Creek," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Melrose Place," "90210," or "Felicity," then you will LOVE "Grosse Pointe."
