Gathered from various sources...
The episode, "My Brother's Keeper", was the first time that 'Timothy Daly' and his sister Tyne Daly co-starred in a production together. They've done this three times- this episode, the 1999 television movie Execution of Justice (1999) (TV), and an episode of Judging Amy.
The character name Carlton Blanchard, played by William Hickey, was taken from a character in the movie Wings (1927), where he was played by William Hickey. (laughed big at that)
As Brian Walks into the terminal entrance beside the lunch counter; on the magazine rack you can clearly see a Entertainment magazine with his face on the cover (not sure what episode)
The aircraft in the opening and closing credits (N121PB) is still in use with Cape Air Airlines of Hyannis, Massachusetts. One of Cape Air's primary destinations in its New England operation (they also operate in Florida, the Caribbean, and Micronesia) is, in fact, Nantucket. This particular aircraft exclusively serves the New England market, so on any given day it is probably flying in and out of Nantucket. When filmed for the credits, 121PB was in the livery of the now-defunct Express Air of New Bedford, Massachusetts. Shortly after the filming, it became the property of Cape Air and has been used in that airline's service ever since. Prior to Express Air, it was in service for Provincetown-Boston Airlines (hence the PB in the registration), which went out of business the year before Cape Air started.
The above explains the identification call "Nevada 121 Papa Papa".
The show's theme music is a shortened version the Rondo from the Piano Sonata in A Major by Franz Schubert.
There is a Tom Nevers Field on Nantucket, but it's not the airport, it's a sports complex. The airport on Nantucket is Nantucket Memorial Airport
The Club Car is an actual restaurant, except it's by reservation only, and the fare is in the hundred dollar price range.
The exterior shots of the airport on the show are of the real Nantucket airport. However, the interior looks nothing like on the show.
Fay had three husbands named George. The first died when he was hit by a truck; the second dropped dead in his chair; the third is never mentioned. Fay nearly married a fourth George, but called it off when learning of his given name during the ceremony.
In "Marriage, Italian Style", a throwaway line by Lowell indicates his mother dropped him off at school one day and never picked him up. Thus, he, Brian, and Joe were all apparently abandoned by their mothers.
Antonio basically lets slip that a scandal involving him sleeping with a teacher lead him to go to America and drive a cab. Yet Antonio's first appearance on Wings is as a waiter.
In "This Old House" Helen corrects Lowell that they didn't know him as a kid. But while seeing the ghost of his dad, Joe hears the line "That was the Mather kid in a parka chewing on a carrot", which Joe agrees with.
While preparing for a date with Davis, Lowell spills a pan of sauce just off the stove on Helen's stomach. However she doesn't scream, but only shrieks for a second at the mess her dress has become.
