Episodes
Cutthroat Manifesto
Stark has 3 rules, which he refers to as his "Cutthroat Manifesto:"
- "Trial is War. Second place is death."
- "Truth is relative. Pick one that works."
- "In a jury trial, there are only 12 opinions that matter and yours [speaking to his team] is not one of them."
Trivia
- Shark was in jeopardy of getting cancelled before it even started, but James Woods gave the legal drama new life once he signed on to star in the pilot. Both James Woods and Spike Lee have spent most of their careers focusing on feature films, not television.
- In episode four, during an exterior shot of a hotel right before a scene where Casey and Raina question a bartender, a bus with an ad for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip passes in front of the camera. CBS had previously lost a bidding war to NBC for the rights to Studio 60 in October 2005.
