| 1 | * TheDanza: Creator/MichaelJFox as Michael Flaherty and Creator/CharlieSheen as Charlie Crawford. |
| 2 | * EnforcedMethodActing: An unintentional example. Creator/MichaelJFox stated once that after he announced he had Parkinson's Disease, many critics, as well as fans, commented that the Parkinson's symptoms he displayed in the show seemed to help his performance as they made Mike appear more flustered and stressed out. |
| 3 | * TheOtherDarrin: Carter's pet Rags suddenly turns into a way more shaggy breed in a later season episode. |
| 4 | * OutOfOrder: When the series was added for streaming on Amazon Prime, the episode order differs vastly from how they aired. The two-part season four finale, wherein Michael leaves office, is placed before two other episodes. The season five premiere introducing Charlie is listed several episodes into the season. |
| 5 | * RealLifeWritesThePlot: If rumors are to be believed, Carla Gugino's abrupt exit from the show was due to Michael J. Fox's wife Tracy Pollan being unhappy with the love scenes between Fox and Gugino's characters and the amount of chemistry between them, and indeed one episode ("A Star Is Born") was re-edited for syndication, with all scenes featuring Ashley removed and replaced by other scenes. |
| 6 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to an [[http://www.avclub.com/articles/jon-cryer-on-charlie-sheens-work-ethic-and-correct,97494/3/ interview]] with Creator/JonCryer, at an ABC upfront presentation, he was asked if Charlie Sheen would be a good match to replace Creator/MichaelJFox (this was right after Sheen's first period of sobering up). Cryer later learned that he himself was on the list of potential Fox replacements and had essentially talked himself out of a job. Of course, Cryer and Sheen would later [[Series/TwoAndAHalfMen collaborate on a success of their own]]. |
