Trivia
During the opening credits, there is a scene showing Petrocelli's office window on the second floor of an old building that says "Navajo Indian Trading Post" on the side. That remodelled building, which was a curio shop, still stands in downtown Tucson, Arizona.

Goofs
Throughout the series witnesses are often seen sitting in the courtroom before their testimony is given. This is contrary to normal courtroom procedure. Although there are exceptions to this rule they would normally be excluded from the proceedings so they would not hear testimony from the other witnesses.

Should have run longer than 2 seasons

Petrocelli is probably the first TV legal drama I watched and I still have fond memories of how Petrocelli was constantly working on his house, but sadly building ceased after the series was axed after only two seasons. Please, Petrocelli needs to be rebooted. I suggest Adam Sandler play the lead role, with Drew Barrymore as his wife.
