Line 211 ⟶ 210:
Yvonne Wilder was in reality two years older than James Victor, who was given heavy makeup and a graying beard in order to play Wilder's on-screen father. This sort of casting method was used on the later Witt/Thomas series ''[[The Golden Girls]]'', in which [[Estelle Getty]], who played [[Sophia Petrillo]], was given makeup and hair that gave her a much older appearance. In real life, Getty was a year younger than [[Bea Arthur]], who played her daughter, [[Dorothy Zbornak]]. In another connection between the two series, McLean Stevenson would later guest star on ''The Golden Girls'' as Dorothy's brother-in-law, Ted Zbornak.
 
About the time he was cast on this series, Marc Price had also been slated for the occasional role of Irwin "Skippy" Handelman on [[NBC]]'s ''[[Family Ties]]'', which had premiered five months before ''Condo''. Price's status on ''Family Ties'' enabled him to take regular roles elsewhere. ''Condo'' was cancelled by ABC in May 1983, and Price immediately had ''Family Ties'' to fall back on. As a result, Price's role as Skippy on ''Ties'' was upgraded to that of full-time regular during the 1983-841983–84 season. There was also another connection between these two series, as Brooke Alderson made guest appearances during the first season of ''Family Ties'' as Suzanne Davis, as friend of Elyse Keaton ([[Meredith Baxter-Birney]]). Alderson, whose second and last appearance on ''Ties'' aired shortly after the premiere of ''Condo'', did not appear in the same episodes of ''Ties'' as Marc Price.
