Having no acting experience, Will Smith learned everyone's parts in the script and mouthed along as they spoke their lines. This is most evident when Ice Tray first arrives. After Will was made aware of his mouthing habit due to this episode, he stopped doing it.
Vivian's credit is "Janet Hubert" for this episode although it uses the shorter opening. This occurrence is fairly rare.
This was the fourth episode to be produced, but the fifth to be broadcast.
The title is a reference to the phrase "home sweet home".
