    • Trivia
      The show won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Variety or Music Program after it had been canceled.
    • Goofs
      The timestamps on Ben's video diary segments never increment, even though the individual segments usually last more than a minute. This is probably due to the fact that they were added in post-production, and weren't a result of a real camcorder's time/date stamp.
    • Crazy credits
      In the closing credits, John F. O'Donohue was listed as a guest star although he appeared in every episode.
    • Connections
      Featured in The 45th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards (1993)

    Has its moments
    This seems, at times, to be the work of complete amateur. There are only a couple of consistently humorous episodes. This show is a mix of bad ideas, good ideas played out poorly, and the occasional gem. I definitely think they could have rid the show of the guest host segment (apologies to Colin Quinn). The DVD is worth it, if only for the odd sketches like Andy Dick disarming a bomb, Melrose Heights, and Oliver Stoneland. Still my favorite: Counting with Bruce.
