This is the only episode in the nine-season series that Roseanne Barr doesn't have an acting part in. She does, however, appear in a monologue at the end, giving a reason relating to her pregnancy for why she was not in this show. She goes on to give a comedic explanation of where babies come from.
For this entire episode Pete (Joel Polis) is wearing a Boston Red Sox hat. Clearly a subtle nod to his role on "Cheers" as Gary from the rival bar, Gary's Old Towne Tavern.
Joel Polis appeared in John Carpenter's cult classic favourite "The Thing"(1982) as 'Fuchs'.
