Plot hole: Throughout the show it is reported several times that Billy and Ally met when they were both eight years old in a park by sniffing each other's bottoms. However, when Billy is buried in season 3 his tombstone reads, 1968-2000, making him 32 years old. Ally is only 29 and does not turn 30 until later in that season which would at the very least, put them 2 years apart. (00:41:15)
Revealing mistake: When Georgia walks into Billy's office naked, a triangle-lamp will cover her "naked" breasts. Look closely, for at one point you can see the white, strapless bra.
Plot hole: In the first episode, Richard Fish invites Ally to join his law firm, saying that he has only recently set it up, yet in the Christmas episode of series one, Elaine says that singing at the party is an annual tradition in the firm and also that they have had at least three Christmas parties. That much time has not passed since Ally joined.
Trivia: Elaine, played by Jane Krakowski, played cousin Vicky in the first "Vacation" movie - her first onscreen appearance.
The Wedding - S4-E23
Trivia: This episode is titled "The Wedding" but there is no wedding in it. The original script had Ally and Larry getting married, but it was re-written due to the arrest of Robert Downey Jr. The title was kept even though the storyline wasn't.
Georgia Thomas: Well, by all means let's hear your opinion, Richard.
Richard Fish: Simple. Men and women. Friction.
Georgia Thomas: That's it? Friction?
Richard Fish: Friction, friction, friction, orgasm. Fishism.
Richard Fish: Sex for me, when it's right it's right. When it's wrong, it's still right. Fishism.
Richard Fish: Everybody's alone. It's just easier to take in a relationship.
Question: There's a quote from Richard Fish I've never been able to find exactly online, but I'm sure I'm remembering the gist, I think talking to someone about getting divorced or cheated on: "10 years from now, are you still going to be as mad as you are now? Of course not. So jump to that point, now, and you're over it. Fishism." Can anyone identify the episode/quote?
