    • Trivia
      The filming of 'Bill Moves On (1998)' (the first episode filmed after Phil Hartman's death) had to stop several times due to the cast members crying.
    • Goofs
      Two episodes in the first season/mid-season replacement show a production studio room on the floor. For the rest of the series, the room is never seen again nor even mentioned as if it never existed.
    • Quotes

      Bill: Oh, I remember one time my father came home from a night on the town, which of course had turned into a week, and my mother said, "John, is there anything you won't drink?" and my father shot back, "Poison! I'm saving it for you!"

      [laughs]

      Bill: And I and my brother, who's now an alcoholic himself, just about died laughing.

      Lisa: And this is a happy memory for you?

      Bill: Of course! Another time I was cut from the high school football team, and my mother said, "Central's lost a fullback, but the McNeals have gained a daughter."

      [laughing]

      Bill: In front of the other players, too! Priceless!

      [laughs]

      Bill: Good times.

    Fun gang prematurely ended by real life tragedy
    Dave Nelson (Dave Foley) is the new director of a New York news radio station owned by the eccentric Jimmy James (Stephen Root). Lisa Miller (Maura Tierney) is the producer and romantic lead. Joe Garrelli (Joe Rogan) is the fixer. Bill McNeal (Phil Hartman) and Catherine Duke (Khandi Alexander) are the news readers. Beth (Vicki Lewis) is the irreverent secretary and Matthew Brock (Andy Dick) is the wackiest of them all.

    This is a great group of lovable wacky cast. Not since WKRP has there been a sillier group to operate a fictional radio station. This group however excels in slapstick wacky humor. Everything is done to a ridiculous extreme, and it's easy with comedians like Andy Dick and Phil Hartman at the top of their games.

    Then on May 28, 1998, Phil Hartman was killed by her wife in a murder suicide while he slept. With this act, not only Phil was killed but also the show. The show lasted one more season with Jon Lovitz as a replacement. But he could never erase the sadness of Phil's death or replace the magnitude of Phil's talent.
