In this episode, Sam (Ted Danson) recalls that Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) had told him that his dad was a dead research scientist (which had happened in an episode of Prost Helmut! (1982) years earlier). This inconsistency is explained by Frasier saying that he and Martin (John Mahoney) had a fight before Frasier made that statement to Sam.

Ted Danson (Sam Malone) and Peri Gilpin (Roz) would go on to play a married couple on several episodes of CSI: Vegas (2000).

Niles (David Hyde Pierce) makes a reference to the heart condition that required surgery in Season 10.

This episode first aired on Kelsey Grammer's 40th birthday.

This episode also tells what became of the Prost Helmut! (1982) gang. The plumber got rich and dumped Rebecca. She's back at the bar. Norm is still at the bar (no surprise there). Woody and Kelly had a smart baby boy. Cliff doesn't hang around the bar much, because he read an article about flesh-eating bacteria and hasn't left his mother's house since.

When Sam (Ted Danson) says that when the preacher said "Will you take this woman to be your wife?" and Sam says "Who, me?" and starts running down the aisle, this is most likely a reference to the season 4 premier of Cheers when Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) tells Sam that Diane said the same thing at their wedding.

This is the very last performance Ted Danson ever made as Sam Malone.

Sam (Ted Danson) confesses to Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) that no ballplayer comes to Seattle because of the Mariners - a reference to how poorly they have played throughout their history. The episode aired February, 1995. Later that year, the Mariners would clinch their franchise's first division title.

One of the first things Sam Malone (Ted Danson) says when he first meets Niles (David Hyde Pierce) is how Niles looks exactly like Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) did when he first knew him back in Boston.

In this episode, Tia Leone plays Sams fiancé and they met in a group for sexually compulsive people. Ironically years later Tia would split up with her husband David Duchovny because he had a sexual compulsive problem.

When Sam comes to Frasier's apartment, Frasier helps ward off a phone call from a woman named Sheila, whose asking for Sam, via an impromptu game of charades between the two. This is likely an homage to the very first scene between Sam and Diane on Cheers, in which Diane helps ward off a call for Sam from a woman named Vicki.
