Trivia:

During a taping of one episode, Christina Applegate was surprisingly reunited on-set with one of her "Married with Children" (1987) co-stars. As part of her script in this episode, she rings the doorbell. But to her surprise, Ed O'Neill answered the door and said, "Where have you been, young lady?" Applegate responded with a dropped jaw, tears of joy, and a big hug.

Quotes:

Little John: Mom and Diego are doing sex aren't they?
Darren: Do you know what sex is?
Little John: My friend told me that it's when the woman crawls up into the man's butt and falls asleep
Darren: Yep, yep that's exactly what it is.
[Silent John taps him and shakes his head]
Little John: It's not? Then what is it?
[Silent John points to Darren to explain it]
Darren: Oh, come on!

2nd Season: A BIG Disappointment

I was a big fan of "Jesse" from the first episode I watched. That, however, was in season one. This season those with nothing better to do decided to "fix it," even though it wasn't broken. The new season opener has dropped her Dad and two brothers from the cast (no explanation) and added two co-workers at her new job. In short, the season opener was lame the second episode even worse. I will watch a third time, but if the show doesn't improve, I'm out of here.
