Trivia
The series' name is taken from the nickname of the notorious Canadian Donnelly family who participated in a violent 19th Century community feud around Lucan, Ontario that ended with a home invasion massacre. Series creator, Paul Haggis, grew up in the nearby city of London, Ontario where the stories of the feud are well known, and he promised to use elements of them in the series.

This series was originally expected to debut during fall 2006 but was later bumped up to January 2007 to replace ER (1994) during its hiatus. During fall 2006, ER (1994) had such great ratings that NBC decided to scrap the hiatus, and The Black Donnellys (2007) was pushed back to March 2007. However, another NBC newcomer, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006), turned out to be bit of a disappointment, and The Black Donnellys (2007) was bumped up to fill its time slot in February 2007.

Q
Who performs the song used in the trailer of the show?
A
A Canadian band called 'The Mudmen' perform their song 'Lost' for the NBC trailer.
Q
Where can I find the song that was playing when...
A
For songs from episodes which aired on television and/or were released online, some songs have been identified and contributed by fans to http://heardontv.com/tvshow/The+Black+Donnellys/Season+1 There are other internet databases with similar song information.A note about television episodes versus online episodes. Even though the television and online episodes were identical (pre-cancelation), the songs on the online episodes were different than the television episodes. That is because NBC saves a lot of licensing money by using less well-known artists for the online episodes. Although some people assume that the music in the online episodes is inferior, the opposite may sometimes be true, because for the online episodes, the music selection is based less on star-power and cross-marketing, and more on how a "smaller" artist's work might fit into a particular scene. Regardless, because the online episodes use songs by lesser-known artists, it is harder to identify those artists and their songs (although if you look hard enough you may have some luck). Many of the artists placed in the online episodes have "indie" releases on smaller, labels, and most have their songs on iTunes.HDNet recently announced that they will be airing both the broadcast episodes and the internet-only episodes starting June 13, 2007. It is possible that the internet episodes broadcast by HDNet will have the same music as online, since only one music "version" of those episodes were originally created.
Q
How many episodes are there in the first season of this series?
