Trivia

• Jonathan Adams and Gail O'Grady are the only member of the primary cast who were alive when the pilot episode is set (though O'Grady was just an infant then).
• Dick Clark is a co-producer of American Dreams. Clark, who hosted and produced American Bandstand, can also be seen in archival footage whenever the Bandstand scenes are filmed.
• An episode from the show's third season, "Tidings of Comfort and Joy," was broadcast without commercial interruptions, although Ford sponsored the episode (due to the fact the episode prominently featured JJ getting a Ford vehicle)
• According to a Star Magazine issue, Meg Pryor's character was loosely based on actual American Bandstand regular Fran Giordano.
• The unaired 12-minute epilogue is likely to be included in the series third-season DVD release.
