Mid-Century Modern shoots in front of a live studio audience, a practice that was very common for sitcoms through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s but is not as common now.
Nathan Lee Graham was cast after an audition with Nathan Lane. According to Graham, their chemistry "was unspoken, and it's something that happened immediately."
Richard Kind, who plays the guest role of Carroll Mintz--a character with a longstanding crush on Bunny Schneiderman (Nathan Lane)--in several episodes, also has a major theatrical role in common with Nathan Lane. Lane originated the role of Max Bialystock in the 2001 Broadway musical The Producers, and Kind later played the same role as a 2004 replacement.
