Trivia[]

Rebecca and Paula are the only characters who have appeared in every episode.
- Nathaniel appeared in every episode since his introduction in late season two.
- The same goes to Greg who appeared in every episode since his introduction til his departure, and then when he returned in the final season, he appeared in every episode til the end.
- Although Josh didn't appear in three episodes, the actor appeared twice as Colin Crowley, so the actor only missed I Never Want to See Josh Again., the episode in which only half of the main cast appears.
There were nine series regulars over the course of the series, but there are only three episodes in which all of them together appear. Those are the final three episodes of the show: "I Need to Find My Frenemy", "I Have a Date Tonight" and "I'm In Love". It should be noted, however, that in those episodes, White Josh is not credited as a series regular, but rather as a special guest star.
All nine regulars have appeared in at least half of the episodes, while neither recurring character met that criterion, although Hector needed only two more episodes.
- The only other two recurring characters apart from Hector who have appeared in at least third of the episodes are Tim and Scott.
In total there are 32 out of 61 episodes (52%) where all main credited actors appear. Nine out of 18 episodes in the first season (50%), seven out of 13 episodes in the second season (54%), six out of 13 episodes in the third season (46%) and ten out of 17 episodes in the final season (59%).
