| 1 | * TheCastShowoff: Cybill Shepherd, Tom Wopat, and Christine Baranski each show their singing chops in several episodes. Many episodes also feature Alicia Witt's piano-playing. |
| 2 | * CreativeDifferences: Creator/CybillShepherd fired creator Creator/ChuckLorre midway through the second season. |
| 3 | ** This was not the [[Series/{{Roseanne}} first]] or [[Creator/CharlieSheen last]] feud Lorre would have with his actors either. Same for Shepherd. |
| 4 | * TheDanza: Cybill Shepherd as Cybill Sheridan. |
| 5 | * DawsonCasting: Inverted in the episode "The Wedding". The bridegroom at the titular event is played by Creator/JensenAckles, who was 19 at the time. While that's technically not illegal, it's very unusual, and more likely the character was meant to be in his twenties. |
| 6 | * HostilityOnTheSet: The set was not a happy place for most of the cast and crew, by their own accounts due to Creator/CybillShepherd's behavior. Writer Alan Ball mainly stuck around for the money and later admitted he had zero respect for the show's star. As for the cast, Creator/AlanRosenberg described it as the worst job he ever had, Creator/AliciaWitt confirmed there was a fair amount of tension on the set, while the experience led Creator/PeterKrause to consider quitting acting altogether. Creator/ChristineBaranski has largely kept her mouth shut, though Liz Smith did once report that Baranski claimed she'd someday reveal how "bad" Shepherd was (all Baranski has officially said to date is that there were “political” issues but they were fine working together). Allegedly, much of the hostility stemmed from Baranski's Emmy win, while Shepherd herself lost. Many believe that was the catalyst which led to Shepherd having Chuck Lorre fired, and subsequently assuming more creative control to look after her own self-interest. |
| 7 | * OutOfOrder: Cybill comes back from her mother's funeral at the beginning of episode 13. Her mother then dies at the end of episode 21, which aired more than three months later. |
