* TheGhost: Aaron becomes this after Christien de la Fuente left the show. Rather than recast the role, suddenly the character was always "at work", or on the other end of a phone call, and in one episode played by a clearly different actor (from behind) being hugged by Kyle at the airport, after coming home from a long trip. It's possible that the producers hoped de la Fuente would be back, but then the show was cancelled.

* ItsASmallWorldAfterAll: Several ties between characters that develop in later episodes are due to chance encounters. For example, when Ethan is pretending to be Dan Slutsky, he attends the birthday party of a friend of Sue's son; this friend happens to be Oprah, the daughter of Holly Ellenbogen, and Kyle Lendo is also in attendance. This results in a friendship between Kyle and Ethan.
