Line 3:
* [[The Danza]]:
** In a weird sideways manner. The character "Natalie" was based on Mindy Cohn, who at the time was not an actress but a student at a school the producers visited for ideas and inspiration. She was invited to audition, and ended up cast essentially as herself.
** Also, [[George Clooney]] as George Burnett during the 1985 and part of 1986 seasons.
** [[Molly Ringwald]], during her one season stint (the first one; 1979-1980) played Molly Parker.
** Not to mention Geri Jewell as Cousin Geri.
* [[Disabled Character, Disabled Actor]]: Geri Jewell, who played Geri, actually has cerebral palsy.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Lots, but most notably Kenneth Mars in the episode "Gossip".
** Natalie wound up voicing Velma in ''[[Scooby Doo]]''.
** Mayim Bialik (the future [[Blossom]] and [[Big Bang Theory|Amy Farrah Fowler]]), Seth Green, and Juliette Lewis in the finale.
** A very young Helen Hunt in a first-season episode.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Despite the number of main characters being thinned between Seasons 1 and 2, production expressed interest in retaining Molly Ringwald as a regular. However, she left to pursue a movie career.
* [[Written-In Infirmity]]: Nancy McKeon had broken her foot shooting the [[Made for TV Movie]] ''Strange Voices'' shortly before shooting for the final season began; thus resulting in her foot being in a cast for a few early episodes that season.
