Although the character of Jen is a teenager, the actress playing her is actually in her 30s.
Richard Karn, who previously co-starred with Tim Allen on Home Improvement as Al Borland, plays Bill McKendree, who tells Mike Baxter (Tim Allen) to "say 'hi' to your wife and three sons," which Mike replies, "Bill, I have three daughters." Bill responds, "Really? God, I seem to remember it was three boys." This refers to Tim Allen's character, Tim "The Toolman" Taylor, on Home Improvement.
