Trivia:
Here are the lyrics from the shows theme song:
Something magic in the way you hold me in your eyes
No one ever warned me love just takes you by surprise
I don't know what's come over me
You've got my hypnotized when you look at me.

You look at me, soft as any touch could be
And suddenly, there's magic when you look at me
I feel like I'm in heaven every moment when
You look at me You look at me, and suddenly
I'm captured in your eyes
You look at me

The first episode of Joanie Loves Chachi was the highest rated American program in the history of Korean television. As it turns out, "Chachi" is Korean for "penis". See the Snopes Web Site for more information.
