Breaking Bad (2008)

Season 2 generally

Trivia: For most of season 2, Skyler is pregnant, but Anna Gunn (who plays Skyler) was not. The opposite is the case for the character of Marie: Betsy Brandt (who plays Marie) was pregnant during season 2, even though Marie was never pregnant during the show. In an episode early in season 2, we see Skyler rubbing lotion on her belly. That is Betsy Brandt's pregnant belly standing in for the close-up shots.

Trivia: On their wedding day, Tracy shows up at McClaren's to meet up with Ted and the gang. While sitting at their usual table, Ted and Tracy kiss. Right when that happens, we quickly see Marshall hand Lily some money. This is a callback to a bet they made in season 7, when Lily bets Marshall that Ted and Robin don't end up together.

Trivia: When Austin says "I never forget a pussy... cat": According to the DVD commentary, there was initially a longer pause between the 2 words, but the ratings board was going to give the movie an R rating. So they instead altered the scene to the final product we see now, thus being granted the PG-13 rating.

30 Rock (2006)

The Beginning of the End - S7-E1

Trivia: Jack mentions that Jonathan was able to come back to 30 Rock because "the grass was not greener on the other side." This was a subtle shot at the show Weeds. The actor playing Jonathan (Maulik Pancholy) was on that show, which was about selling marijuana (grass). When Weeds was canceled, Pancholy came back to resume his role on 30 Rock.
