The series was created by Raven Metzner and Stuart Zicherman, with J. J. Abrams, Bryan Burk and Thom Sherman serving as executive producers through their Bad Robot production banner.

The pilot episode was directed by Rodrigo García.

The show was filmed on location in Manhattan and at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City, Queens, New York.

The theme song, 'Here Comes Now', was written and performed by Jakob Dylan.

Josh Charles was added to the cast when the series returned for its seventh episode in a new Friday 9:00pm timeslot in March 2007.

ABC pulled the show from its schedule twice due to poor ratings, first in November 2006 and again in April 2007, before ultimately canceling it in May 2007.

After cancellation, the unaired ninth episode was posted directly on ABC's website in April 2007, with remaining episodes following weekly, and planned final broadcasts in August 2007 were replaced by reruns of another show instead.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds a 42% approval rating based on 12 critic reviews, with critics noting that despite a well-assembled cast, the interconnected New York stories weren't compelling enough.
