Setting/background
The show was set in Miami, Florida (which is the actual base of operations of Dave Barry). It was based on Barry's books Dave Barry's Greatest Hits and Dave Barry Turns 40.
The show's theme song was a version of Billy Joel's "You May Be Right" sung by Southside Johnny; however, it is not used in the DVD releases (see below). It was the second show to use a theme song based on a Billy Joel song (the first being Bosom Buddies, which used "My Life").
During the run of the show, the real Dave Barry divorced his wife, Beth.

Famous quotes containing the words setting and/or background:
“The trees stand in the setting sun,
I in their freckled shade
Regard the cavalcade of sin,
Remorse for foolish action done,
That pass like ghosts regardless, in
A human image made....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
