During a taping of one episode, Christina Applegate was surprisingly reunited on-set with one of her Eine schrecklich nette Familie (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.
What attracted Christina Applegate to this role more than anything was that she saw Jess as the anti-Kelly Bundy, as she was smart and responsible unlike Kelly who was not.
The theme song was titled "Time For You" written and performed by The Tories, a Los Angeles power pop band.
The show was canceled due to it losing viewership to its fellow NBC sitcom "Friends".
Christina Applegate is nearly 15 years older than Eric Lloyd.
