Al and Jefferson (as well as the entire bar) gets into a fight over who was in the first Lite Beer commercial: Bubba Smith or Billy Martin. Although both of these athletes appeared in Lite Beer commercials in the 1970s, neither one of them were first. That honor went to ex-New York Jets fullback Matt Snell in 1973.
Both creators, Ron Leavitt and Michael Moye were writers on "The Jeffersons".
The program with the women wrestling in lettuce Al comments on at the new sports bar was Foxy Food Fight shot live at Whiskey A Go Go in 1987.
When Al and Jefferson are in body plasters at the end of the episode, Al says "give me five". Realising they can't because of their injuries he says "give me one, five times" they actually do it six times.
