  • Harsher in Hindsight: Ten months after this episode aired, as he reveals in his autobiography and retrospective of the series "I Was a Teenaged Greg", Barry Williams was involved in a car accident. It was caused by a distracted driver (the other driver), who was tending to her dog while driving and caused a head-on collision. Barry suffered bruises and a laceration on his lip that required stitches, and his new 1974 Porsche was totaled. When he returned to work shortly after the accident, the producer slapped a Band-Aid on the wound and decreed that "Greg had cut himself shaving." Barry's response: "With what, a lawnmower?"
  • Values Resonance: This episode was one of the earliest to address the seriousness of distracted driving (two decades before cell phones were common), with Greg the guilty driver who, while looking at the cover of his new album (while presumably driving at highway speeds), luckily avoids causing an accident on a major freeway.
