- Growing the Beard: The second season, which mostly did without the Disguised in Drag element, is generally better-regarded than the first; Tom Hanks has also said he was happier in the second season because they were able to get the pilot's director, Joel Zwick, to be the full-time director.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The executives forced the writers to include the drag plotline because they thought that TV audiences would never want to watch a sitcom about the advertising industry. Turns out they were kind of right...because they would've preferred to see a prestige drama about the advertising industry
- Retroactive Recognition:
- Stuck in Their Shadow: Peter Scolari was often derided (in spite of his later, Emmy-nominated turn on Newhart) to a point of Kick the Dog entirely on the basis of Tom Hanks' careernote .
