Gemma Teller Morrow: Looks like the boy might actually see his first birthday.

Gemma Teller Morrow: Yes! Thank you, God. Maybe... we should say a little prayer.
Wendy Teller: Okay... That'd be good.
Gemma Teller Morrow: Dear God... Thank you for saving this boy... From his murderous, junkie mom. Who cared more about a $40 dollar fix than she did her own flesh and blood.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (revealing mistake): Originally, Scott Glenn was supposed to play Clay Morrow, and filmed several scenes of the pilot. After Ron Perlman replaced him, most of the scenes were re-shot, but in several scenes (mostly scenes where the characters are on their motorcycles), it's obvious that it's Scott Glen, and not Perlman.

Trivia

The show takes place in the town of Charming, which has a population of 14,679.
