Trivia: In episode 7x4 "Mob Rules" the last scene was filmed at Brooklyn's Kent Street Pier, part of Transmitter Park in Greenpoint.

Mercy - S2-E1

Trivia: In episode 2x1 "Mercy" the last scene was filmed at Brooklyn's Valentino Pier (it's also known as Coffey Street Pier) in Red Hook. It had been renamed for a Brooklyn firefighter who heroically died in the line of duty, and the area's full name is Louis Valentino Jr Park and Pier. It's an appreciated green area in the middle of a lot of buildings. Bit of trivia to add, Valentino Pier is featured in a short video with Rosie Perez.

Hometown Hero - S2-E21

Trivia: While Gibbs is in the Forensic Lab with Abby, just as she tells him there are no scratches on the lock's tumblers, Gibbs looks up at the lab's window, and Donald Bellisario has a quick cameo as he peers through the window at Gibbs, who gives Bellisario a puzzled look. (00:34:45)

Toy Story 3 (2010)

Trivia: When Woody thinks the toys who were in the trash bag are being crushed at the back of the garbage truck, the truck's license plate number is RM237. Then later, when Woody goes back to Sunnyside to rescue his friends, Chatter Telephone warns him about the Monkey who is the "eye in the sky" while watching the security monitors, and in a couple of shots of those monitors there's a box at the right side of the table which has a very distinctive design. Both are nods to the movie The Shining. (00:56:15)

Trivia: While Maggie MacKenzie and John-Boy are at the Mermaid Restaurant, when they both dance together Maggie envisions her long deceased husband, Michael MacKenzie, dancing with her instead of John-Boy.

The Unthinkable - S8-E15

Trivia: While John is reading the newspaper funnies to John Curtis, we hear Erin and Mary Ellen come home, so John puts the folded newspaper down on the couch. And as the newspaper lies on the couch, we can see the large white adhesive label with typewritten sentences adhered to the center of the funnies page. Presumably, these are the actor's lines as he was reading quite animatedly to the toddler (sweet moment). (00:06:25)

The Outrage: Part 1 - S9-E1

Trivia: While everyone is at the table eating supper and talking, little John Curtis taps on John's shoulder, then John turns and asks "What?" John Curtis points to his pants and excitedly says, "I got new pants," and John says, "I see that. Who got you those? Your mommy?" Then John Curtis looks offscreen, away from the other actors on set, and replies, "No, from Pat," (no characters named Pat are on the show) and without missing a beat, John responds, "From Pat? Where does she live? On the next farm?" And John Curtis answers, "Yeah," amidst all the giggles we can hear, so John answers with a smirk, "Okay, good!" This is such a hilariously precious unscripted moment, and great they decided to leave it in the episode. (00:26:15)

The Premonition - S9-E5

Trivia: When Jason and John-Boy are at the French restaurant John-Boy suggests Vichyssoise soup, but Jason tells his brother he's not a fan of that soup. In 8x10 "The Silver Wings," Serena worked on getting the cooking merit badge, and during the meal (which Corabeth helped plan) Serena served Vichyssoise soup, and Jason's facial expression when he tastes it helps explain why he is not a big fan.

Lost (2004)

Trivia: There is a short epilogue (about 12 minutes long) titled "The New Man in Charge" that never aired on TV. The epilogue focuses on events after the series finale "The End" and it may offer a few appealing revelations to loyal Lost fans.
