Trivia
This show shares a universe with both Friends (1994) and Frasier (1993). In Caroline and the Folks (1995), Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) crosses over from Friends (1994) while Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves) and Niles Crane (David Hyde Pierce) crossed over from Frasier (1993) in the episode Caroline and the Bad Back (1995). In addition, Caroline Duffy (Lea Thompson) crossed over on Friends (1994) in the episode The One with the Baby on the Bus (1995).

Goofs
In season 1, Caroline's mother Margaret Duffy is a slim, blonde, cultured, Midwestern American lady, but when she returns in Season 3, she has become a short, dumpy, red-haired German-American woman with a peculiar squeaky little accented voice, and an obsession for collecting tacky knick-knacks.

Quotes
Richard: In the future, when you tell your brother off in the dead of winter and storm outside, you might want to bring a coat.
Caroline: I'm fine.
Richard: Oh, please. You don't have to be proud in front of me. I've seen you eat M&Ms off the floor.

Oddly Appealing

I started to watch this a little about 3 years ago when it played on a satellite station here. I was not expecting to like it because it has been slated by various critics across the US. However, I found myself enjoying it more and more as it went along. The characters were well portrayed and likeable and the writing was at least average.

Lea Thompson is gorgeous and her 'chirpiness' as Caroline was endearing, as was her attachment to Richard. He seems to have been something of a sore point in the show but I took to him straight away. He's fab because he's different and quirky. I think it's great that he didn't have to be an amazingly attractive, built guy, it gives more realism.

All in all, 'Caroline in the City' is fun and watchable, though not Emmy-worthy its certainly worth a look.
