Kelly's mentions a number of silly things while defending Al's "God shoes", one of which is NBC's Sunday night lineup. As this episode was filmed in the fall of 1991, NBC's Sunday night lineup during that time consisted of: The Adventures of Mark and Brian, Eerie, Indiana, Man of The People, Pacific Station, and the NBC Sunday night movie airing at 9 pm.
This episode was taped on October 18, 1991.
Although Katey Sagal is absent from this episode her presence comes in a painting that Peg has made of herself that costs 2,500 dollars. This is what gets Al so overwhelmed that his falls out of the second floor bedroom window and temporarily ends up in heaven.
