* LGBTFanbase: The show was quite progressive for its time in handling homosexual issues, never showing it as a negative and showcasing the cast being quite understanding about it. Heck, two of the most memorable episodes involved Dan (one where he gets trapped in an elevator with a gay man and another where he finds out his childhood best friend was a MTF trans), both episodes tackling the subject very tastefully while still keeping the humor present. As such the LGBT community has praised the show for their depictions.

** HarsherInHindsight: In "The Talk Show" Dan is hired to host a late night talk show as a mouthpiece for "people who have no chance of getting lucky" (Dan's description of who watches late night television). The way the ([[FemaleMisogynist female!]]) director phrases this, she's basically describing the "incel" movement.

** While John Larroquette won four consecutive UsefulNotes/{{Emmy Award}}s and Harry Anderson was nominated for three, the rest of the regulars were never nominated, with the odd exceptions of early cast members Paula Kelly and Selma Diamond, once each. This was [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] in the ''30 Rock'' reunion episode, where Markie Post complains that Anderson and Larroquette considered themselves above their castmates because they were the only ones nominated for Emmys: "I would have been nominated for Emmys too, but I was too hot to be taken seriously!"
