Trivia: The J in T.J. stands for Jasper.
Trivia: The show was originally titled "Teenage Wasteland" or "The Kids Are Alright" but those were songs by The Who and, legally, Fox couldn't get permission to use them. They renamed the show "Feelin' Alright" to show the focus groups. However, nobody really liked the name. After the focus groups airing, the audience were heard saying they really liked that show about the 70's or that 70's show - and the name stuck.

Trivia: When Vanessa is about to go outside to shoot arrows with Eve, Mike (Tim Allen) tells her to aim low so she doesn't shoot over the fence or she'll hit the "weird dude always giving me advice." He then covers his mouth with his hand. A reference to Wilson on Tim Allen's show "Home Improvement" and how the fence always covered the lower half of his face.
Trivia: The bar "Mahoney's" is named after the late John Mahoney, who played Frasier's father in the original show.
Trivia: In some episodes, Rory speaks Spanish (e.g when she is talking to her grandmother's maid). She speaks very poorly, typical "school-Spanish". This is just acting; Spanish is actually Alexis Bledel's first language. Her mother is from Mexico and her father is from Argentina.
Trivia: Maddy starts to film her movie and Mr. Mosby tells her that he is ready. Look at what he does right before she starts filming. He chants "Mah, mah, mah" and does the same thing Ashley Tisdale does in "High School Musical" before performing.
Chin Up! / Dog's Day Afternoon! - S1-E5
Trivia: The Crimson Chin is played by Jay Leno. That's why they say that he was a "struggling talk show host" when he got bitten by a radioactive celebrity.
Samantha Fights City Hall - S5-E9
Trivia: Because Erin Murphy, who played Tabitha, was ill, her fraternal twin sister Diane took her place in this episode. By this time, Erin and Diane didn't resemble each other as much as they once did, and it was obvious to regular viewers of the show that it wasn't the Tabitha they were used to seeing. The producers received several letters asking "Who was that?"
Trivia: The only member of the cast to have actually served in the Home Guard was John Laurie. Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier, Clive Dunn and Arnold Ridley were in the regular army.
Trivia: When Josh has the broken foot, the hospital he goes to is called St. Schneider's. This is a reference to the show's director, Dan Schneider.

Trivia: At the end of the show, Fran and The Gym Teacher, played by Rita Moreno, are discussing Fran's high school boyfriend. Moreno's lines in the scene are from the song "A boy like that" that her character Anita sang in the 1961 movie West Side Story.
Trivia: In the episode where Janet asks Jack if she's a bad kisser, take a look at Janet when he kisses her. Jack unexpectedly slip Janet his tongue (which surprises the audience as well) and that throws Janet off and shocks her. Her surprised face is not acting, and was really surprised he did that. You'll also notice that when they part, she can't keep a straight face.
Suggested correction: This does not happen, their kiss is closed and for 2 seconds and Janet doesn't ask about her kissing. She says before the kiss when they have few mishaps trying to kiss before the final kiss that no-one has ever picked her kissing before and his response was, "Just shut up and kiss me!" She responds, "Okay fine!" Then they kiss, mouth closed just lips.
Trivia: Amy Poehler who guest stars on a number of episodes as GOB's wife is in fact really married to the actor who plays GOB (Will Arnett) in real life.
