| 1 | * ActorSharedBackground: Creator/PamelaAdlon, like Sam, is a single mother with three daughters. Both are actors too, with an English mother and American father. They're also both half gentile and Jewish. |
| 2 | * DirectedByCastMember: Creator/PamelaAdlon starred as main character Sam, while she also co-created, produced and wrote much of the series. |
| 3 | * FakeAmerican: Completely averted. All actors use their natural accents. A good example of TruthInTelevision - in bigger cities (like Los Angeles, where the show is set) there are many immigrants. For example, Sam's mother is English, as are Macy and Mer Kodis. |
| 4 | * RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Creator/LouisCK, who played an integral role in writing the first two seasons, was removed from the show following his admission of sexual misconduct, ironically leaving Adlon in a similar position C.K. was in on ''Series/{{Louie}}'' as the sole writer/director. |
| 5 | * ThrowItIn: Apparently, Olivia Edwards (Duke) [[https://mobile.twitter.com/pamelaadlon/status/1256029786964586496 really]] came down with a case of the hiccups when filming the season 4 finale. It was then decided to leave them in. |
| 6 | * TitledAfterTheSong: The show is named after "Better Things" by Music/TheKinks. |
