Casting

The casting was Deedee Bradley, Megan Branman, Reyna Karp and Susan Vash. The primary focus was the baby who would play as 'Otis Cox'. Scenes with 'Otis' made it challenging for the rest of the cast as apposed to doing them with an older child, teenager or adult. And filming in a scene, many factors occur such as adapting to any possible noises and crying and having added responsibility. Keeping the baby occupied whilst doing the scene to prevent any outburts is also a primary concern which can be very challenging.

Opening Theme

The opening theme is "Rock Me Baby" by Matter which is an up-beat rock song. The lyrics are:

I know
I'm gonna have a good time
I'm so lucky to be here
I'm so lucky to be here

The closing theme is the instrumental version used for the closing theme. Samples of the instrumental song is used to open and close from adverts.

Other scenes also include resturants, Pamela's bedroom, Otis' bedroom, a rooftop of a building, a school administration office, a school performance art stage and a live music stage within the radio station building which are all featured in Denver, Colorado, but filmed in Los Angeles, California, USA.
