Added DiffLines:

** Tatianna from Romania says some of her lines in fluent romanian. Going with the episode's theme, they are read as vulgar speech by the rest of the cast because of her accent (Romania is read "Romuneea", munee being greek slang for cunt)

False information about the series


* TruthInTelevision: Kostantinos is a religious figure with hypocritical tendencies towards people who do not follow the {{Good Old Ways}}... a reputation very associated with the modern Greek orthodox church.

* BilingualBonus: In the mafia episode, Eleni teaches Konstantinos "Italian" to greet Nino formally, leading to this golden exchange (in italian):
-->'''Konstantinos''': Good evening, Good evening! You asshole!
-->'''Nino''': Asshole?! What are you saying?
-->'''Konstantinos''': Asshole, sir! Asshole! Asshole!
-->'''Nino''': Bastard! You called me asshole!
** and the followup after Silvana clears up the situation
-->'''Konstantinos''': Sir Nino! Up you ass!
-->*cue Nino punching him in the gut*



** Eleni's very unfiltered swearing.

** Matina's confidence builds up rapidly after Nikolas proposes to her. Not only she starts to ReallyGetsAround, she changes her whole image, puts on contact lenses, talks with a much calmer voice and adopts a new-hippie lifestyle.
* ChekhovSGun: Matina works as a public servant and spends the whole series saving up money for her dowry, believing it will make her search for a groom easier. [[spoiler: She ends up using the money she saved up to buy the ownership of the bar that Eleni, Nikolas and Peggy work at, after learning that it was going to close due to poor business]].

* {{All For Nothing}}: [[spoiler: The final episodes reveal that the two housemates never had to have the "two wills" case taken to court in the first place, as there was a third and final will in video format. A much calmer, offscreen, version of the trial is implied to have taken place shortly before the final episode, with both parties agreeing on settling on a half-half ownership. To put it simply, '''the entirety of the first season''' could have been avoided.]]

* ThrowItIn: a common practice by Harrys Romas reportedly. Being the director and scriptwriter he never knew the scripts by heart and mostly improvised by the episode's general gist.



* EditedForSyndication: An interesting case: since the series is rerun on early afternoon instead of its initial prime time slot, swear words were eventually beeped out, scenes involving nudity or sexual implications were cut, and infamously, sexual orientation and drug references were beeped out as well. A (surprisingly serious) episode on the subject matter of sexual harrasment was cut altogether.
