    Crazy Credits: We know about 2 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:

    Revealing mistakes: Twice there appears an animated clip showing about a dozen fully-equipped US troops in gray silhouette marching briskly left to right over a background graphic; however, a close look shows the “soldiers” actually wearing narrow-brimmed office-worker-style civilian hats rather than army helmets.

    Trivia: There are 15 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • The show is set in the town of Royston Vasey. This is also the real name of Roy 'Chubby' Brown, who plays Mayor Vaughn on the show.
    • The surveyor team in the second episode are named after Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, the assassins in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever (1971).
    • While saying her marriage vows, Barbara gets David's first names the wrong way around (she says “Charles David” instead of “David Charles”). This is a reference to Lady Diana Spencer getting Prince Charles' names wrong during their real-life wedding (Diana said “Philip Charles Arthur George” instead of “Charles Philip Arthur George”).
