The series was distributed and aired on A&E prior to the series being shifted to Lifetime. At the time of filming, Alley weighed 228 pounds (103 kg). Alley was the star of the show, but not the heaviest person on the show. Jim (her handyman) weighed roughly 100 pounds more than Alley, weighing in at 324 pounds (147 kg).
