- Fake American: Vanessa Lengies and Jamie Elman (Luke Foley) both grew up in Canada (although Elman was born in the United States). Jamie Elman hails from Montreal and Vanessa Lengies grew up in nearby Huron, Quebec. While both are less likely to let slip Canadian rising (being less pronounced in that area of the country) their "ough" endings often come out rather Quebecois.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: As noted in the opening, the first season was released on DVD while the show was still running. As of 2023, the other two seasons have never been released. They aren’t even available to stream (legally).
- Screwed by the Network:
- NBC loved to change the show's time slot.
- In Britain, this was screwed by two networks; it aired on the Hallmark Channel and Trouble, and neither channel could be bothered to show the third and final season.
- Stunt Casting: Countless instances of modern-day celebrities portraying their equivalents from The '60s; the most jarring examples have got to be Paris Hilton as Barbara Eden, Nick Lachey as Tom Jones, and Jennifer Love Hewitt as Nancy Sinatra. Sinatra wasn't initially keen on Hewitt playing her, but relented and JLH would appear as her again in a later episode.
