Trivia / My So Called Life S 1 E 4 Father Figures

• Accidentally-Correct Writing: In "Father Figures", Angela mentions the band Porno For Pyros to her dad, and he snarks "I love their Christmas album". It's meant as a joke about their intentionally awkward name, but Porno For Pyros did have a Christmas song of sorts - the B-Side "Pete's Dad" is a heartwarming song set at a family Christmas dinner, and while it wasn't officially promoted as a Christmas single, some alternative radio stations would put it in rotation during the holidays nevertheless.
• First Appearance: Of Creator Winnie Holzman as guidance counselor Mrs. Krzyzanowski.
• Real-Life Relative: Paul Dooley, who's married to Winnie Holzman, plays Chuck Wood, Patty's adoptive father.
