Vanessa states that she deals with hydraulic fracturing, but in S1-E20 ("Animal Wrongs"), she tells Mandy's boyfriend "fracking" wasn't her thing.
Mandy Baxter (Molly Ephraim) mentions that the extent of her knowledge on fracking is that actor Mark Ruffalo is against the practice. This is correct. Ruffalo is an anti-fracking activist who in 2011 founded Water Defense, an organization dedicated to banning hydraulic fracturing in New York State.
When Mike puts on the football game in the kitchen to convince Eve to come back inside, the footage is from a Canadian Football League game. The team seen is the Toronto Argonauts. The quarterback seen is Kerwin Bell, who started playing for Toronto in 1998, and again in 2000-2001.
Vanessa Baxter (Nancy Travis) uncharacteristically uses the term "janky." Urban Dictionary defines janky as an adjective meaning "inferior quality; held in low social regard; old and dilapidated [sic]; refers almost exclusively to inanimate material objects, not to people."
Mike says he's not following the fireman at school parent day. In The Santa Clause Tim Allen's character Scott Calvin follows the fireman at school parent day.
