- TriviaThe credit song for Season 1, Episode 1 was Dave Edmunds' cover of Elvis Costello's Girls Talk. For the series finale, the closing credits song is Tegan And Sara's cover of the same song.
- GoofsThe opening chryon says "San Francisco 1965", but when Suzy tells Lenny Bruce that she can get him booked for club dates, he responds, "There are no more club dates. This, tonight was a fluke. They thought they booked Bruce Lee." The earliest anyone in the United States would have heard of Bruce Lee would have been September 1966, after Lee's debut as Kato in ABC's "The Green Hornet" (one month after Lenny Bruce died).
- Quotes
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel: I want a big life. I want to experience everything. I want to break every single rule there is. They say ambition is an unattractive trait in a woman. Maybe. But you know what's really unattractive? Waiting around for something to happen. Staring out a window, thinking the life you should be living is out there somewhere but not being willing to open the door and go get it. Even if someone tells you you can't. Being a coward is only cute in The Wizard of Oz.

Featured review
Well Done!
They left us laughing. And we left them laughing. A fitting epitaph for any comic and for the series.
Watched every episode and appreciated all that went into the production, cinematography, writing and acting. Hoped they'd cap it off with something worthy of all that was put on screen. I think they did. I think they hit the right notes with Lenny, Susie, the families and, most importantly, Midge. No quibbles. Not a one.
While this is a review, take it more as a 'Thank You' note to the many talents who contributed to the series and this wonderful finale.
This last episode showed Midge's one special moment in front of the camera. The moment so many saw how much she had to offer. That she was different, bold, funny and, yes, beautiful. It also showed that her ambition never left her. That from the moment the pull of the stage microphone drew her to stand in front of a TV camera, the only thing that could have stopped her was herself. And she never let that happen.
Marvelous indeed.
