  • Fan-Preferred Couple: Despite Dawn being Happily Married to Scott, most fans online ship Dawn with Wickie, mainly due to said fans feeling that she has better chemistry and a more interesting dynamic with Wickie. Most fan content for the show is about those two as a couple.
  • Questionable Casting: Tina Fey as Dolly Parton? Tellingly this was not the original plan, as Fey was just deemed the best choice on hand given the issues of shooting during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lampshaded in the show itself:
    "Dolly Parton": I'm not the real Dolly Parton, I'm your hallucination of Dolly Parton! That's why I don't look or sound quite right! S'why my eyes are brown as donkey shit, and my ass hasn't been this big since Best Little Whorehouse... I'm starting to think you don't know that much about her.
    Dawn: I know you're a coal miners daughter...
    "Dolly Parton": (laughs) That's Loretta Lynn!
  • Spiritual Successor:
    • The series is comparable to the early 2000s MTV series 2gether, which similarly followed a fictional pop group with a similar name and satirized the industry at the time.
    • It's one to Queens, an American Broadcasting Company series also with the premise of a girl group reuniting.
