  • Actor Allusion: "The Cameo Show" is full of this, as it heavily features Bob Newhart's and Judd Hirsch's former co-stars from The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, Taxi, and Dear John, many of them playing characters similar to their characters on the earlier shows, with some even sharing names with those characters (like with Peter Scolari playing Dr. Harris or Peter Bonerez playing Dr. Robinson) and others being The Danza.
  • The Danza: Bob Newhart as George may not seem that way at first, but Newhart's full name is George Robert Newhart.
    • Some of Newhart's former co-stars who appear in "The Cameo Show" are this, with Marcia Wallace, Jack Riley, and Julia Duffy playing characters with their first names (though they are really expies of the characters they played on the earlier shows).
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Since the show's cancellation, it has never been rerun or released on home video. Previously only three episodes were online, until 2023 when the whole series was uploaded.
  • The Other Darrin: Casey was played by two different actresses during the show's short run.
  • The Other Marty: Ted was played by a different actor in the pilot and replaced by Jason Bateman by the time it aired.
