This episode marks Vincent Gardenia's last appearance as Frank Lorenzo. Frank will be mentioned in three future episodes ("Archie Feels Left Out" (1974), "Archie's Helping Hand" (1974), and "Archie's Contract" (1974)).
This is Vincent Gardenia's final episode of "All in the Family." After shooting for season four ended, Gardenia (who played Frank Lorenzo) was excused from rehearsals and shooting for season five so he could begin work on the film "Death Wish." Originally Gardenia was slated to leave "All in the Family" as a steady character and only make an occasional guest appearance, but he never returned.
