[edit] Trivia

• Steven Culp almost didn't play Rex Van De Kamp. Culp was creator Mark Cherry's first pick for Rex, but Culp couldn't play him at the time. Michael Reilly Burke was cast. He didn't test well with audiences, and Cherry asked Culp again and he was at that time able to play him.

• Rex Van De Kamp took the role of narrator, much like that of Mary Alice Young, for season 3, episode 16 My Husband, the Pig.
