Trivia
The short song Bobbie Flanagan played by Jane Krakowski sings in her office is almost a direct parody of 'Roxie' from Chicago, and the character Bobbie Flanagan is a parody of Billy Flynn from the same musical. You can also see this by the newspaper headline that says "Bobbie's Razzle dazzle" A take on Billy Flynn's song 'give them the Razzledazle'

Goofs
In S2E1 the broken down Audi has Connecticut license plates. When Melissa holds up her license to be a head shot, it was a New York license. However, Melissa and Josh are from NYC, where residents typically don't own cars, so it's reasonable to assume their car is a rental.

Crazy credits
The opening "Schmigadoon!" music winds down as the title card is replaced by the flashing "Schmicago" lights.

Connections

Melissa gets caught up in her new world. She is told she must audition for the part of the woman Josh is accused of killing, thereby having access to possible clues. At times she forgets the poor guy is potentially going to be executed and is more focused on her new celebrity. Meanwhile, there are more wonderful songs and schtick from the same actors who were in Schmigadoon. We know this is a going to work out eventually, but there should be more show tunes with the wonderfully creative lyrics we have seen. There is no lack of talent. I have not heard a sour note in the eight episodes I have watched.
