Unlike her previous Fox show, Tracey Takes On... was filmed using a single-camera setup on location without a studio audience. The show also features a steady rotation of nearly twenty characters—unlike The Tracey Ullman Show, which featured upwards of one hundred, the majority of whom appeared only once.
In 1998, a book based on the series, Tracey Takes On, was released. The character Ruby Romaine was spun off into the HBO television special Tracey Ullman in the Trailer Tales in 2003.
