Dies und das:

Paul Feig's inspiration for the show was Rainer Werner Fassbinder's epic "Berlin Alexanderplatz" (1980), which dealt with the lives of outsiders and misfits in Berlin before World War II.

Pannen:

Anachronismus: In the pilot episode, there is a plastic ketchup bottle on the dining room table at the Weirs. Plastic ketchup bottles were not available until 1990.

Dialogzitate:

Ken Miller: [about Tuba Girl] That's not playing an instrument! That's like blowing into a toilet!
Lindsay Weir: Sounds better than your singing!
Ken Miller: Lindsay, here's an idea - how 'bout you break up our band so you can go make out with Nick? Oh, wait, you already did that.

It's a shame they took this off the air...

I just started watching this show lately now that it's on Fox Family Channel. I saw one episode before, where the kid is the mascot for the basketball games and all. I love this show! I think it's one of the funniest shows I have ever seen in my life. The characters are the best of almost any series I have ever seen as well. I especially love Haverchuck...he cracks me up. The show deals with kids who are sort of outcasts in high school in 1980, and what outcasts they are. You have the rebel sister and the dorky brother in the main family in the show, and they both will make you laugh. I think the biggest laughs come from Sam and his friends. They are sort of geeky, but they try their hardest to be cool, and they talk constantly about getting chicks and how hard it will be. In one of the episodes, they think Neal's father is having an affair, and Haverchuck says," I don't even know how you get one chick, let alone two." or something to that effect. This is a great show, and it saddens me to see that NBC screwed it up with it's horrible scheduling and promotion. The show deserved much more of a chance than it had, because it's one of the best shows to come along in years, but leave it to the networks to screw up a great thing.
