One of many episodes where there is a mob figure, either in person, or by reference, with a name ending with "ette" (Pinette, Frishette, Binette, Gillette, and a few other). In this case, the mob figure is Joseph Minette, and Patsy Fossler's on the run from the Minette crime family.
When Patsy tells Rockford she is no longer interested in marrying her fiancé, Rockford responds by saying, "Tricia's wedding didn't cause this big of a stir." He's talking about Patricia Nixon's White House wedding. This was also a bit of an inside joke as Leslie Charleson bears a striking resemblance to Tricia Nixon.
The Becker's son, Scotty - who's often mentioned but rarely seen (though he will appear - as a grown man, in the The Rockford Files: Godfather Knows Best (1996) reunion movie), is running for president of the 6th grade in this episode.
Peggy reveals Mildred Pierce (1945) is one of Dennis' favourite films.
Lou Frizzell had previously worked with James Garner in his prior series, Nichols: Eddie Joe (1972)
Rockford's phone number is 555-2368.
