Rocky makes a rare reference to Jim's mother in this episode, talking about how she was content to stay at home and be a mother and a wife.
The character of Ann Louise Clement was based on best-selling anti-feminist author Marabel Morgan.
By mere coincidence, 4 people credited on this episode died in 2014: scriptwriter Juanita Bartlett, star James Garner and guest stars Ed Nelson and Arlene Martel (credited as Tasha Martell).
The portrait of Ann Louise Clement over the fireplace in her home is the same picture that is used for Claudette Nevins's portrait on her IMDb page.
