 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Early Edition
Mr. Boggles. When Mr. Boggles hopped away, little Allie Chapman went looking for him and she quickly lost her way in the drainage tunnels under the city. (Allie Chapman was played by Taylor Momsen, who went on to play Cindy Lou Who in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas.")
Show Me The Monet. Gary pretened to be a police officer to help Clive replace a forged painting with the real thing.
Crullers. Gary was staying at the Blackstone Hotel because his wife had locked him out of the house. Chuck stopped by to wish him a happy anniversary. And to offer him a cruller (which they both hate, by the way).
Rebecca. Gary had a major crush on Rebecca, and used his "early edition" to give her the correct weather forcast. Renee, Erica, and Emma are some of the names of Gary's other girlfriends.
Lily. Rose was the good twin and Lily the evil twin. This episode was done in the "film-noir" style, complete with a smokey bar-room, low-key lighting, a hard-boiled detective, and a femme fatale.
Lowe. Sibella got the name "Lowe" from the "Lost Chicago" book she found on Gary's coffee table. The author's name is David Lowe. She told him that it was short for "Chloe."
in the back of a Camaro. To quote from the episode, Lois said, "A moment of passion in the back of a Camaro may have led to a wedding, but do you think it guaranteed a successful marriage? No sir, it did not."
"Chicago Sun-Times". According to the episode "The Paper," the "Chicago Sun" and the "Chicago Phoenix" merged to form the "Chicago Sun-Times." In reality, the "Chicago Daily Times" merged with the "Chicago Sun" in 1948 to form the present-day "Sun-Times." The "Chicago Tribune" is the other main newspaper in the city.
"The Pilot". Crumb appears in the very first episode of the series as the detective in charge at the scene of the bank robbery.
theatre. Gary chases a monkey into an old theatre and gets trapped on an old scaffolding. Marissa, Chuck, Lois, and Crumb are all trying find Gary while Bernie is stuck in jail with some circus performers.
Bernie and Lois. Lois was in a total of seven episodes, and Bernie was in a total of five episodes. Bernies ends up arrested in one of the episodes, and Lois refuses to bail him out.
Gave it to Marissa to buy a dog. Yes, Gary gambled. In the first episode, Gary takes Marissa out to lunch after he quit his job. She tells him she likes to eat at the restaurant at the racetrack. While she is sitting at the table by herself, he is betting on horses. In the end, he gives the money to Marissa so she can get a seeing eye dog.
J.T. Marley. J.T. Marley was posing as John Dobbs, Morris is the man who works in the newspaper morgue, John Dobbs was the agent after Marley, and Harry Hawks is the newspaper editor.
Henry. Henry is the only person to figure out the paper on his own, and Gary was not very happy when he did.
Hickory. "The Fourth Carpathian", "Home Grown", and "Duck Day Afternoon" are the only episodes you actually get to see Hickory in. In "The Fourth Carpathian" and "Duck Day Afternoon", you only get to see Gary's house, but in "Home Grown", you get to see most the town.
Jeremiah. In the episode "Fate", Jeremiah was a homeless man trapped on the roof of a burning building. Gary tried to bring him to safety by crossing a ladder onto another roof, but Jeremiah lost his balnce and fell.
Patrick. Patrick worked at the bar before going to college. He wanted to become a teacher.
cab driver. Emmit was Marissa's boyfriend. They met in the Valentine's Day episode, and he was in a few other episodes. He was studying to become a lawyer, but worked as a cab driver.
November 12, 1996. In other episodes, the timeline is changed for some reason. For instance, when it is Gary's 4 year anniversary of getting the paper, the date on that paper is different than the day he originally started to receive it.
Strauss & Associates. It is only shown a few times throughout the series even though Chuck still works there. Gary's old boss makes several other appearances during the first season as well.
Amanda. Amanda is played by Mae Whitman, who appeared on 'Chicago Hope', a show someone referred to on the street after she got hit.

McGinty's. He buys it with Chuck in season 2.
Sam Cooper. Lucious Snow received the 'Chicago Sun-Times' before Gary.
Lois and Bernie. Lois and Peter are from the show 'Family Guy' on Fox.
Spike. Gary buys it for her with money he earned from using the paper at the track. This is only one of the few times he uses the paper for profit.
Hickory, Indiana. Chicago is where 'Early Edition' takes place.
a cat. It is the same cat that Lucious Snow had.
Marcia. Gary's wife, Marcia, dumped him in season one, in the first episode - right on their anniversary - for undisclosed reasons. She had just finished law school, and he was working as a stock broker. Gary quit his job and then went to go stay at the Blackstone Hotel (an actual place).
A tabby. The cat was an orange tabby, who at six-thirty every morning would somehow deliver the paper to Gary's front door and then go inside to eat, to just disappear a little later... until the next day.
The cat, who was just called 'Cat' or 'The Cat' on the show, was actually given a name by the writers of the show. The writers named the character 'Carl.' The cat, AKA Carl, was played by several cats during the show's four year run.
Fishman. Fisher Stevens played Chuck Fishman, Gary's quirky but lovable best friend. Chuck wanted to use the paper to make money off of the lottery and race tracks, but Gary only did on rare occasions. Chuck left in season two, to go be a movie producer (and guest starred in three more episodes later on). The real reason Chuck left was because the actor portraying him, Fisher Stevens, wanted to move on and do different projects.
Deaf. Marissa had meningitis as a sixteen-month-old baby, that left her blind. Meningitis can also leave one deaf, but was not the case with Marissa. She bought her first seeing eye dog with money Gary won for her, by using the paper.
Actress Shanesia Davis-Williams, who played Marissa, visited a blind school to learn how to carry herself and her eyes as a blind person. She pulled off the part remarkably well, with some viewers thinking she really was blind.
