• Actor Allusion:
  • Ursula (played by Lisa Kudrow) compliments Lisa on her name.
  • Paul is once asked if he had ever seen the Alien movies. "Just the first one."
  • Jamie is invited to play Twister.
• The Danza: Paul Reiser as Paul Buchman.
• Edited for Syndication: Sometimes the tag to the third from last episode "Paved With Good Intentions", in which we see Ira stealing props from the apartment and telling a shocked Nat that "Mad About You will be airing its last episode a week from next Monday", is replaced with a generic New York skyline shot credit crawl.
• The Other Darrin:
  • Their next door neighbor Maggie (Judy Geeson) was married to a man named Hal (Paxton Whitehead). Early on, they switched the actor playing Hal (to Jim Piddock) in an implicit "Other Darrin" situation. Much later, they switched back, and retconned that they were two different Hals (Paxton-Hal was her first and third husband), thus un-Othering the Darrin.
  • Further, Jamie's parents were played by three different sets of actors, culminating in Carol Burnett and Carroll O'Connor.
  • Even more Kent Brockman, Jaimie's Boss was played by Alan Ruck (of Spin City and Ferris Bueller's Day Off) but inexplicably changes between Seasons 4 and 5.
