Better With You Trivia:

Better With You's creator is Shana Goldberg-Meehan who began her career as a writer on "Mad About You" and then wrote for and served as executive Producer on "Friends". It would appear that she has the right stuff to write and produce romantic comedies!

The series was first titled "Better Together", then changed to "Leapfrog" and then to "That Couple" before settling in on Better With You.

The cast of Better Than You is by no means inexperienced in show business. Joanna Garcia has starred on "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", "Reba", and "Privileged"; Jennifer Finnigan on "The Bold and the Beautiful", "Committed", and "Close to Home"; Debra Jo Rupp on "Davis Rules", "If Not for You", and "That '70s Show"; Kurt Fuller on "Wildside", "Capital News", "Laurie Hill", "Time Cop", "That's My Bush", and "The Big Day"; and Josh Cooke on "Committed", "Four Kings", and "The Big Day"!

Twenty years before she became a star on That 70s Show, Debra Jo Rupp was a contestant on "The $10,000 Pyramid". Unfortunately for Debra her competitor was teamed up with Tony Randall ("The Odd Couple") who was one of the best celebrity players to appear on the game show and she lost. Ironically, in 2003 she appeared on "The $100,000 Pyramid" twice, this time as the celebrity contestant!

Kurt Fuller looks quite a lot like actor Werner Klemperer who played Colonel Klink on the series, "Hogan's Heroes". That resemlance was a major consideration in his being cast as Klemperer in the 2002 movie, "Auto Focus".
