When Tobias leaves an "off to work" note for his wife Lindsay on the kitchen counter, how does he sign the note?
Your husband
T (Tobias)
Dr. T Fünke
Not you
ANSWER: This gesture by Tobias is indicative of the subtle brilliance of the show and represents amazing character understanding by the writers. Only Tobias would be dumb enough to leave a note for his wife and not trust her being able to properly identify the note's author simply by recognizing his initial- even though he was the only person in the house whose name starts with a T. The header of the memo paper reads: From the desk of Dr. Tobias Fünke.
