This episode marks a crossover with Family Matters (1989), which shares a lot of the same crew, and by extension Perfect Strangers (1986). Jaleel White also reprised his role as Steve Urkel on Step by Step (1991), which also featured Staci Keanan. Keanan, in turn, reprised her "SBS" role as Dana on Boy Meets World (1993), implying that all of these shows take place in the same universe.
Steve Urkel does a "Shave and a Haircut" knock before entering the Tanner house, rather than simply barging in like he typically did on Family Matters (1989).
There is a calendar in Stephanie's classroom, which shows the first day of that month to be Wednesday. The episode aired on 1991, and the only month that started on Wednesday in 1991 was May.
Along with wearing glasses, Steve and Stephanie also share similar names. "Stephanie" is the female form of "Steven." "Stephanie" has French origins, while "Steven" is Greek in origin. Both names mean "crown."
