The Season 5 finale, "The 'V' Story", ended with an intense cliffhanger, but was not intended to be the final episode. However, the show's cancellation was announced the day before the episode's premiere, and this came to be the series finale.
Jazz Raycole, who originally played "Claire Kyle", was pulled from the show by her mother who disapproved of a storyline that started off Season 2.
Andrew McFarlane has played two characters on the show, both Claire's boyfriend. He first appeared in the season 1 episode "Breaking Up and Breaking It" as Roger, Claire's boyfriend who was more interested in playing video games with Michael than being with Claire. He then landed the recurring role of Tony, Claire's religious boyfriend. He first appeared as Tony in the season 2 episode "Letting Go".
The character 'Michael Kyle' was ranked #27 in TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time" (20 June 2004 issue).
