* EnforcedMethodActing: An interesting aversion. When the series first started, Jonathan Katz would record dialogue with whoever the guest star was. This practice was abandoned fairly quickly, though, as the producers realized that Katz's subdued personality would bring the comedians' energy levels down, almost as if they were actually in therapy.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: In one episode, Dr. Katz tells Stanley and Julie a joke about a guy who was coming home early from a business trip, but catches his wife having sex with another man. The husband is devastated, and goes to see a shrink. After describing the problem, the therapist wonders, "Maybe she didn't get the fax." Nowadays, when such a message would likely be sent via cell phone or email, it's less likely that someone would send a fax saying they'll be home early.

In another episode, Dr. Katz also mentions that he has a computer while talking to guest Marc Maron, but it's never shown on-screen.

--> '''Annette''': It was the kind of job where one worked morning til night, and it was really stressful. Really stressful, killer deadlines, some ridiculous crisis or another every week. I was practically having panic attacks. I was working very long hours and the only time I was ever outside practically was when I trudged back to my car, usually in the dark. Everything in my life was seriously out of whack.
