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.
