* In "An Alien in New York," Harry refers to the dog Murphy as male, despite Sahar clearly referring to the dog as female in "Family Day." It's not surprising that Harry would get it wrong - his own people have been previously established as having no sex organs and genders.

* At the alien convention, Harry riffs off catty critiques of most of the species that the alien connoisseurs have posted on the wall. He then delivers a surprising line for humor's sake by saying that a certain species of bird people are "surprisingly pleasant." Two whole seasons later, Harry falls completely in love with a bird alien.
* It seems odd that D'Arcy would consider herself a failure in life. She is a successful small-business owner, the life of the party, and must have been one of the top three mogul skiers in the entire country at one point. However, this is TruthinTelevision as many Olympians struggle with post-Olympic depression.

* In "The Green Glow," we find out that Harry's species shares a (very) distant common ancestor with the octopus. Not only is the octopus one of the smartest invertebrates, but the two species also shares some similar traits such as the ability to camouflage themselves as other organisms to an extent, DeathBySex, and [[AlienBlood blue blood]].

* Since Max can only see Harry in his alien form, he has no idea what the real Harry looked like. Harry uses this to prove to Max's parents that he is making up the story by placing several photos of different men, one of the real Harry, in front of Max and having him pick which one is him (Harry). Max chooses a picture of Creator/RussellCrowe (No, Creator/SamNeill from the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' documentaries.)

The reason is that he's trying to get his ship pieces back, and Patience is the closest city.


* The reason why Harry stays in this small out of the way town and rarely visits a big city? Because cameras can reveal his true form and thus much better out of the way. Sadly for Harry, even a small town is starting to catch up to 21st-century technology.

* AdaptationalUgliness in the TV series makes sense in a metasense; the comic book Harry is a peaceful alien stranded, just bidding his time til rescue comes. The [=TV!Harry=] came to Earth to destroy humanity and as a more menacing appearance befitting his AdaptationalVillainy.
