This episode marks the last time that Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty acted together in their roles as Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia, respectively.
Final appearance of Bea Arthur as Dorothy Zbornak, ever. Ironically, this episode marked the first ever appearance of the previously oft mentioned (usually by Dorothy or Sophia) Shady Pines retirement home. It would later appear in sister show Empty Nest (1988) which Estelle Getty joined the cast of in 1993.
When Ramone says that Chuy looks like one of the Super Mario Bros. (1985), it's a in-joke. Cheech Marin was asked to play Mario Mario in Super Mario Bros. (1993), but turned it down.
Billy L. Sullivan does not appear in this episode.
