Less than Perfect

The show's title referenced its lead character being a 'full figured' woman, which was heavily emphasized in press coverage at the time of the series' premiere.

Over the course of the series, Sara Rue lost 30 pounds, and as the show progressed her figure became less of a focus; she later became a spokesperson for Jenny Craig and eventually lost a total of 50 pounds.

Will Sasso and Patrick Warburton both started as recurring characters before being upgraded to series regulars, Sasso at the start of season two and Warburton at midseason of season two.

In January 2006, Zachary Levi revealed that many cast members were ready to move on after filming what would become the show's final season.

In March 2006, while the show's fate was uncertain, Sara Rue was cast in a CBS sitcom pilot called Play Nice, though it was ultimately not picked up.

After ABC cancelled the series following just three aired episodes of season four, the network initially planned to burn off the remaining nine episodes alongside fellow cancelled sitcom Rodney, but ultimately aired only two more before pulling both shows from the schedule.

Lifetime Television picked up the series for syndication in 2009 and aired all 81 episodes, including the seven episodes from season four that had never aired on ABC.

The season one DVD release from Lionsgate Home Entertainment contained a production error, presenting episodes in production code order rather than original airdate order, which notably misplaced the season finale as second-to-last.
