Trivia:

For the first time, early in the 2005-2006 season, one principal character has finally gotten a surname. Principal character Dana ('Kimberly Williams (I)') married Dr. Ryan Gibson (Mitch Rouse) and became Dana Gibson. The rest of the principal characters still have no surname.

Goofs:

Factual errors: The series is set in Chicago, and in the one episode, Jim buys the cemetery plot next to Bronko Nagurski's grave. Bronko Nagurski is buried in International Falls, Minnesota.

Quotes:

Jim: Do you want Cheryl to make you a sandwich?
Dana: I don't think that'll help, Jim.
Jim: [pause] Do you want to make *me* a sandwich...?

Funny Funny Funny, And Oh Yeah, FUNNY!!!

Okay I'll admit it, the first time I saw the commercial for this show I didn't think it looked all that great, but I decided I'd watch it anyway, and I'm glad I did. Courtney Thorne- Smith plays Jim's wife, shes kinda annoying but she also makes the show really worth watching. Larry Joe Campbell who plays Andy is absolutely hilarious and him and Jim make a great comdedic team. This is the only tv show that I have actually fell off the couch laughing to. I give this show 11 out of 10 stars. This show is staying put and not goin anywhere!!!
