Line 9:
** A few of the recurring characters in the show's early run...including a pre-''[[Night Court]]'' [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Harry Anderson]] as itinerant [[Con Man]] "Harry the Hat".
*** Lampshaded when Woody won the lead in ''[[Our Town]]'' and remarked that his co-star was named Emily (same as her character), so she wouldn't have to worry about difficult things like responding to a new name.
* [[Development Gag]]: Former NFL star Fred Dryer was up for the part of Sam Malone, while Julia Duffy (later of ''[[Newhart]]'') was up for the part of Diane Chambers. Both later guest starred on the show, Dryer as Sam's crasser, dumber sportscaster friend, Dave Richards, and Duffy as Diane's even more pretentious, even snootier best friend, Rebecca Prout.
* [[He Also Did]]: Roger Rees plays Robin Colcord in this series, Lord John Marbury on ''[[The West Wing]]'', and the Sheriff of Rottingham in ''[[Robin Hood: Men in Tights]]''.
* [[Throw It In]]: According to John Ratzenberger, he badly botched his audition for the role of Norm, and, figuring he had nothing to lose, asked if the cast included a bar [[Know-Nothing Know-It-All|know-it-all]]. He proceeded to improvise for a few minutes as such a character, and the writers subsequently created the part of Cliff for him.
