This episode reunites Ned Wertimer (George McAllister) and Marla Gibbs (Mary Jenkins). They previously appeared together on The Jeffersons (1975). Ned Wertimer is the fourth and final cast member of the The Jeffersons to appear on the show. Sherman Hemsley, Franklin Cover and Roxie Roker each made guest appearances in season three.
At one point, Flip Wilson utters the line, "The devil made me do it". This was a tagline associated with his famous drag character, Geraldine, that became a national catchphrase at the height of his career in the 1970s.
