* [[Executive Meddling]]: The reason for the generally despised Super Bowl episode centered on [[Green -Skinned Space Babe|beautiful aliens (played by models)]] trying to [[Take Over the World]]. [[Creator Backlash|Even the people who worked on the show badmouth it in the DVD commentary]].
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]]: A number of these happen in retrospect.
** It's a wee young [[Brick|Brendan Frye]]. Or possibly [[Inception|Arthur]].
*** [[G.I. Joe the Rise of Cobra|Cobra!]]
Line 8:
*** Don't forget [[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command|Zurg]] too.
** Harry was kidnapped by [[The Simpsons (Animation)|Troy McClure/Lionel Hutz]]
** One episode has [[MashM*A*S*H (TV)|Col. Potter]] guest starring.
** In one episode, Dick and Mary go out with [[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Commander Riker]] and his wife [[General Hospital|Laura Spencer]]. (Jonathan Frakes and Genie Francis are [[Real Life Relative|married in real life]].)
** The boy with the frisbee from "Y2dicK" is [[Lizzie Mcguire]]'s little brother.
** And, of course, some may know Mary better as [[Saturday Night Live|"Jane, you ignorant slut"]].
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: [[Megas XLR|Coop]] is failing Professor Solomon's Physics class!
** No worries- he goes on to [[Wizards of Waverly Place|marry]] [[Justice League|Hawkgirl]].
* [[Real Life Relative]]: "Auto Eurodicka" sees members of Bug's family played by David DeLuise's father Dom and brothers Michael and Peter.
* [[Screwed By the Network]]: Do you know how many times NBC changed the series' timeslot? Fifteen times... at least. Coupled with often being scheduled against stiff competition, making it to six seasons was quite an accomplishment. NBC particularly hurt the show with its scheduling choices in Season 6 - with ratings taking such a hit that production knew they wouldn't be back for a seventh.
* This show and ''[[Thirty30 Rock (TV)|Thirty Rock]]'' share more than similar titles:
** Tracy Morgan appeared in a ''3rd Rock'' episode ("Dick'll Take Manhattan") and John Lithgow appeared in a ''30 Rock'' episode ("Goodbye, My Friend"). Both were playing themselves.
** Their connections to ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' are inverted. ''3rd Rock'' was created by two ''SNL'' alums and has one ''SNL'' alum in the main cast. ''30 Rock'' was created by one ''SNL'' alum and has two ''SNL'' alums in the main cast.
