This was the first appearance of Dr. Emily Hannover, as played by Anita Gillette. As the season went on, Emily would become Quincy's girlfriend and, later, wife. Coincidentally, Gilette also played Quincy's first wife in a flashback episode (season four's "Promises to Keep") showing the circumstances of her death and Quincy's reluctance to get married again.
In what amounted to a running joke throughout the series, Dr. Hannover asks Quincy what his first name is and he refuses to tell her. Quincy's first name was never revealed during the show's run, and the only clue was that his first initial was "R".
Featured a pair of "Sanford & Son" regulars in Lynn Hamilton (played Fred's girlfriend "Donna") as Mrs. Kellough and Gregory Sierra (Lamont's friend "Julio") as Rick Durado.
