The Film:

  • Completely Different Title: In Latin America, the movie was called ¡Quieren Volverme Loco! ("They Want To Drive Me Crazy!"). Its sequel was called Una Casa Patas Arriba ("A Messy House").

The Series:

  • Creator Backlash: Terry Crews was initially excited for the TV version as it gave him the chance to headline his own show. He grew to despise the show because of its crushing workload, dull scripts, and the general apathy of everyone involved.
  • No Budget: The TV series was shot in Connecticut and utilized a laugh track to keep the budget as low as possible.
  • The Other Darrin: All the characters in the movie that came back in the TV series:
    • Terry Crews replaces Ice Cube as Nick
    • Essence Atkins replaces Nia Long as Suzanne
    • Coy Stewart replaces Philip Daniel Bolden as Kevin
    • Teala Dunn replaces Aleisha Allen as Lindsey
    • Christian Finnegan replaces Jay Mohr as Martin
    • and Charlie Murphy replaces Sean Millington as Frank
  • Screwed by the Network: Once TBS realized that the show wasn't performing to expectations, it simply took the show off the air while production continued.
  • Star-Derailing Role: The underperformance of the TV version almost killed Terry Crews' career. He was able to maintain his profile by offering to work on several episodes for free in exchange for being allowed to go and film The Expendables 2.
