* GrowingTheBeard: The show was always funny, but it gradually improved over the first and second season.
** The series started off in the shadow of ''Arrested Development'' and the Roses are harsher and meaner in the first episodes because of it. When they soften but retain their edges, the show starts to find its own voice and blossoms.
** When the first season romances between Alexis and Mutt and David and Stevie fizzle out, it leads to CharacterDevelopment for Alexis and David. Alexis feels hurt for the first time, and David and Stevie settle into a deep friendship that becomes a core part of the show.
** When the Rose parents crash the Barn Party to tell their children they love them, the scene nails the mixture of sharp humor with a touch of genuine sentimentality that makes the show great.
** When Patrick arrives in town and becomes an IconicSequelCharacter, the ensemble feels complete since both Rose children then have love interests that force them to grow as people.

** Creator/CatherineOHara is Irish-Catholic, as is her character Moira Rose, but so is Levy's real-life wife Deborah Divine.

** As noted above, Creator/DanielLevy is the real-life son of Eugene and his character David refers to himself as a "half-half situation" during the Christmas Episode when someone asks him if he is Jewish.
