Go To

1* ActorInspiredElement: Creator/KatDennings flat-out told the producers she would only do the show if Creator/BethBehrs was cast as Caroline, since the two hit it off so well during auditions.
2* ActorSharedBackground: Beth Behrs worked as a waitress before getting her big break.
3* CareerResurrection: Creator/GarrettMorris had struggled to recreate the same success he had enjoyed as part of the original cast of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' after leaving that show. ''2BG'' put him back on primetime television for 6 years and went a significant way in restoring his fortunes.
4* DuelingShows: ''[[Series/DontTrustTheBInApartment23 Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23]]'' had a very similar premise. Its pilot also had a plot thread where one of the roommates discovered the other one's boyfriend was cheating and told the new roommate, who didn't believe her until she caught the boyfriend in the act.
5** ''2BG'' won the duel as its rival was ScrewedByTheNetwork and canceled midway through its second season.
6** And then 2BG even picked up one of that show's [[Creator/EricAndre supporting players]].
7* IronyAsSheIsCast: Max, who has a pronounced fondness for booze and weed, is played by Creator/KatDennings, who shuns drugs and alcohol in RealLife.
8* MoneyDearBoy: Creator/JenniferCoolidge has admitted that she took the role of Sophie mainly because she'd hit a dry spell in her career and it was the only place that offered her a job. She's also admitted that she [[CreatorBacklash didn't really care for the show at first]], but she [[FriendshipOnTheSet credits Garrett Morris and his positive attitude]] for making her more appreciative and grateful for the opportunity to have a steady job on a fairly popular series.
9* RuleThirtyFourCreatorReactions: Creator Whitney Cummings decided to watch the Angela White VR parody (who was [[BuxomBeautyStandard naturally]] standing in for Creator/KatDennings) when she was on the ''Barstool Sports'' podcast and later interviewed White on her own show. Cummings jokingly threatened to file a copyright suit, but was actually a really good sport about it. She's interviewed quite a few pornstars and expressed support for their work.
10* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: In season 6, Creator/NoraDunn and Creator/KerriKenneySilver play the mother and sister of Caroline's boyfriend Bobby, and they ''do'' look like they could be mother and daughter.
11* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
12** Audition footage exists (and has been circulated on Website/YouTube) of one of the actresses who tried out for the role of Max: a pre-''Series/DoctorWho'' Creator/JennaColeman.
13** Legendary singer Music/{{Cher}} was in talks to play Max's mom as a guest star in Season 7 before the show's cancelation.
