Line 8:
* [[Actor Existence Failure]]: Season three ended with a [[Cliff Hanger]] in which Harry had been kidnapped by Vicki's old boyfriend Randy. Phil Hartman, who played Randy, was dead by the time the show resumed for the next season, so the storyline had to be resolved without him. Randy gets a [[Karma Houdini]] as a result.
* [[Creator Couple]]: The opening titles end with the credit "Created by Bonnie Turner & Terry Turner". They are a married couple. Incidentally, the show is set in Ohio because Bonnie is an Ohio native.
* [[Edited for Syndication]]: The syndicated versions removed the pre-opening credits sequence of James Earl Jones narrating about the four main characters; they were cut for time. These were unfortunately the versions included on the initial Anchor Bay releases, but luckily these intros were restored for the Mill Creek Entertainment re-releases.
* [[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]].
** Kristen Johnston, when discussing the finale, says that network decisions compromised the show's long term potential, indicating that she felt the show might have ended too soon.
