Trivia
This film broke the Sci-Fi Channel's records by being the highest-rated television event in the network's history.

Goofs
Throughout most of Into the Storm (2007), Glitch repeats himself constantly. This "glitch" dissipates in Search for the Emerald (2007) and is gone by Tin Man (2007) as part of his character development.

Quotes
DG: I'm DG. This is...
Cain: I know, a head-case.
Glitch: I have a proper name... and when I remember it I will tell you.
DG: What's a head-case?
Cain: It's what the state does to re-educate criminals. Remove their brains, and keep them trapped inside their own heads. Ain't that right, convict?
Glitch: Whoa, I ain't no convict!
[hesitates]
Glitch: And just in case I am, it was a bogus charge, a frame job, I'm sure of it!

Crazy credits
This may only apply to the extended credits on the DVD release: the character name Dorothy Gale is misspelled "Dorthy".

Alternate versions
In the DVD edition, released March 11, 2008, the opening title card and credits are only shown on the first episode. Similarily, the first and second episodes do not contain end credits. As a result, the opening titles on the first episode and the end credits on the third episode have been extended and expanded to cover the entire series.

Converting a chick flick into an action-adventure

I hated "The Wizard of Oz" because it was such a chick-flick as far as I could tell. The only cool thing about it was the flying monkeys. My sister loved that stupid movie when I was growing up and she had to watch it every time it came on.

I decided to take a chance on "Tinman" last night simply because it was on one of my favorite channels, Sci-Fi. So far I've actually enjoyed it...and the flying monkeys are still cool. Zooey's not bad either, sort of the girl-next-door type you develop a crush on. Neal McDonough's acting is always good too, the same believability he put into his character on "Band of Brothers" a few years ago.

I'd say most of the people who don't like "Tinman" are probably "Wizard" purists or just not big fans of Sci-fi fantasy.
