    • Trivia
      Neither David Cross's nor Jeffrey Tambor's characters were ever intended to be regular characters. It was not until the actors tested well that the writers ended up putting them regularly in the series.
    • Goofs
      During the time George Sr spends in the attic, storage boxes in the background are marked with either "Tracy" or "Tracey." These are boxes of old clothes belonging to Michael's late wife.
    • Quotes

      Narrator: Tobias listens to a day's worth of his own words, to see what Michael was referring to...

      Tobias Fünke: [on tape] ... even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up.

      Tobias Fünke: Nothing wrong with that.

      Tobias Fünke: [on tape] Oh, I've been in the film business for a while, but I just can't seem to get one in the can.

      Tobias Fünke: It's out of context.

      Tobias Fünke: [on tape] I wouldn't mind kissing that man between the cheeks.

      Narrator: ...and he realized there is something distinct about the way he speaks.

      Tobias Fünke: Tobias, you blowhard.

      [chuckles]

    Very funny
    This show takes a few episodes before you *really* GET it. And once you get it, you'll realize why everybody thinks it's one of the best sitcoms ever.

    Each character is really defined and original...with real, unique personalities. All of the actors have fantastic chemistry, making for really great interactions and relationships within the show.

    The writing for this show is great, and the plots are so absurd that you can't help but find them funny.

    A refreshing change in a world where people like reality shows...it's the only good sitcom left.

    • Where can I watch the show for free online?
    • In the second episode they burn the banana stand but in later episodes, it's still standing. How?
