Trivia:

The show was originally going to be set in a hotel. When they realized the bulk of the show was going to be set in the hotel bar, they dropped the hotel and stayed with the bar.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In a episode #3.5 Diane states that people who where born late are usually smarter, then she admits that she was born late. Yet in an early season four episode, she states she was premature.

Quotes:

[Sam has made a baseball comeback]
Norm: Boy oh boy. The thought of Sammy out there, chucking them down. What I wouldn't give to see that.
Cliff: Norm, it's only a thirty-dollar train ride.
Norm: Well, that's what I wouldn't give.

One of my favourite sitcoms!

10/10 It's a great show. If you ask people for their order of characters (favourite to least favourite) they all have a mixed opinion, Coach is my favourite because he is dumb and funny as hell, but other people call him unrealistic. I didn't like Cliff too much in the later seasons, he was okay in the first 2 or 3. But some would say he's a funny guy, with his dumb-smart-Alec remarks and "little known facts"

All in all this is a damn good show. They did get a bit crazy with the ideas in season 11, but that's because they wanted to have fun with it since it was ending. the only problem i have is the DVD's, release 7-11 in region 2!
