* YouLookFamiliarRealitySubtext: Creator/SteveBuscemi appears in an episode in the first season, which was inspired by an actual incident between Paul Reiser and him. Before Buscemi began acting, he tried his hand at doing stand-up. One night, he bombed so badly, that another comic had to take his place. That comic was Reiser, and the episode pokes fun at the incident.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/TeriHatcher was considered for Jamie Buchman, but lost at the final auditions.
