(hands it to Michael)
Barry Zuckerkorn: Are you sure these aren't balls? Because last time, they were balls.
Barry Zuckerkorn: (Barry is handed the picture of Michael and George Sr. in the stair car) I really wish they were balls.
- Nearly every episode begins with "Michael" or "Michael Bluth" as the opening word(s)
- Will Arnett beat out Rainn Wilson for the part of Gob during the final round of auditions.
- The branch insignia disc on Buster's Army dress uniform indicated he was part of the Air Defense Artillery branch, meaning his specialty was probably as a Patriot Missile Battery operator or an Avenger Air Defense System crewmember.
- In the second season, the Bluth Company housing order is cut back from 22 to 18. This is a reference to FOX cutting back the order of episodes of the second season from the usual 22 to 18.In the third season, FOX cut the third season's episode order from 22 episodes to 13 episodes.
- Even before the "Altar Egos" episode, posters reading Save Surely can be seen on the walls when George Michael and Maeby are at school.
