- TriviaThe cast wanted to end the show with the entire Keaton family dying in a plane crash. They didn't want to do a reunion show in the future.
- GoofsLike many sitcoms with kids, the timeline is a mess. For example, in S1, Alex is a senior in high school planning to go to college in the fall, Mallory is 15, and Jennifer is 9. When S2 starts in the fall, Alex is still a senior in high school, Mallory is still 15, and Jennifer is 11.

Featured review
I am currently a teenager who has dealt with depression in the past and this show really helped me. There is one episode that discusses Teen suicide. And Mallory(Justine Bateman) says one thing that has really stuck with me. "I don't understand how she could do it. I don't understand how she could take her own life. I mean no matter how bad it gets there is always tomorrow. There is always the chance that things can get better."
This show has characters with amazing character development. There are very few shows today that teach life lessons like this. It taught me how to be who I am. It taught me that it's okay to be me. The fact that there are so many personalities within one family allows you to know that it's okay to be different. I hope this helped.
