History Series / TilDeath

* [[AsHimself As Herself]]: Creator/MayimBialik's therapist character from the fourth season. Eventually taken to the logical extreme when Dr. Bialik arranges an '''InUniverse''' reunion of her fellow ''Series/{{Blossom}}'' castmates (but with Creator/JoeyLawrence inexplicably replaced by a fat guy who thinks he's Joey) as part of her treatment of Doug's MediumAwareness "delusions".

* BuxomIsBetter: Joy.

* NoHoperRepeat: When FOX burned off all the remaining season 3 and 4 episodes in the 2009-10 TV season, they would stick them in any spare prime time slot where they didn't expect any viewers, including opposite the Super Bowl (two new episodes, in fact). FOX's prime time lineup on Christmas Night 2009 was four unaired ''Til Death'' episodes in a row, and FOX ''still'' finished in fourth place that night, against ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest'' on ABC, a ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' ClipShow special on NBC, and reruns of ''Series/GhostWhisperer'' and ''Series/{{Medium}}'' on CBS.

* MediumAwareness: Bizarrely obtained by son-in-law Doug in the final season. In one episode, he spends whatever screen time he has being the FourthWallObserver. He is suddenly fully aware of when the camera is on him, that their food is from [[BrandX brands that don't exist]], convenient plot elements, censors, the {{laugh track}}s, that all the rooms have only three walls and there is no such thing as a second floor. He is even unfortunate enough to catch a glimpse of one of the mics. Needless to say all the other characters think he's a little off his rocker.

Despite very lackluster ratings, which reached comically low levels later in its run (see [[http://www.spottedratings.com/2010/07/war-of-18-49-til-death.html here for details]]), the show managed to make it to four seasons due to the production company offering it for a pittance, hoping to get enough episodes for syndication to make their money back. Possibly as a result, the show wound up going in weird directions, which didn't gain it any further viewers, but briefly made it must-see TV for television critic types. The strangeness of the fourth season in particular is highlighted in [[http://www.avclub.com/articles/nobodys-watching-the-strange-genius-of-the-fourth,42394/ this]] Website/AVClub article by Todd [=VanDerWerff=].

* OutOfOrder: Big time. After the show was pulled early in season three, producer Sony Pictures Television kept producing episodes as if it was still on the air. The eighth episode of that season didn't see air until it kicked off a Christmas night marathon in 2009, fourteen months after the seventh episode and two months after the first three episodes of season four had already reached the air. Once the show landed in the 7pm Sunday timeslot in February 2010, most weeks featured season three and season four episodes airing back-to-back until the timeslot was scaled back to a half-hour in April. And then the series finale by production order was followed up by the last three episodes made for season three. And since the show was retooled in both season three ''and'' season four, the differences between these episodes are blatantly obvious (for example, all season three episodes include J.B. Smoove as Kenny, a grown man who first met Eddie after Eddie was inexplicably assigned to be his Big Brother mentor. He was written out in season four in favor of promoting Doug and a recast Ally to series regulars).

* ScheduleSlip: Oh so much. The ''first'' lengthy hiatus (during season two; lasted about four months) is [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by the 2007-08 WGA Strike. The second? Not so much, and a direct result of rapidly declining ratings. This one lasted just shy of a full year. Then a third hiatus started in mid-October 2009 after just ''three'' episodes (again, blame the ratings) and lasted until an infamous Christmas night mini-marathon that finished dead last among the big four despite the other nets being in repeats. One final hiatus of just over a month then ensued, until Fox went ahead and burned off all ''thirty'' remaining episodes in consecutive weeks[[note]]only breaking off for the [[UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}} Coca-Cola 600]] on Memorial Day Sunday[[/note]] for about five months.

* StuntCasting:
** Gilbert Gottfried as an annoying, rich-as-hell next door neighbor to the Starks during part of season four.
** Also Martin Mull as a fellow teacher and friend of Eddie's, who winds up in a dom-sub relationship with the school's sadistic, {{Revenge}}-seeking, clinically insane[[note]]she hints she may have broken out of a mental institution shortly before taking the job[[/note]] principal.

* YouLookFamiliar: Look out for Creator/KateMicucci as a server at a restaurant several episodes before she becomes Ally #4.
