"We had been trying to scoot in the Austin Powers references forever and they never would let us do it," admits Lenz. "But we snuck it in finally," says Stewart. "Joie and I had both seen the movie and enjoyed it and joked about it. So incorporating that into Danny and Michelle's relationship is what gives it a sense of reality. Our characters probably went to see the movie. Why wouldn't they incorporate it into their vocabulary? I think those touches make it seem like a real, present-day relationship."
