The NYC rooftop where Dick takes Mary for the fancy candlelight dinner is the same rooftop set used many times on the TV series "How I Met Your Mother (2005)."
A TV program called "Life As We Know It" is shown on the NBC line-up calendar. "Life As We Know It" was an alternate title for " 3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)."
The opening theme music features a 1920s-style jazz arrangement.
