  • Alternate Character Interpretation: While it still isn’t right or politically correct for Dorothy to have a problem with Michael and Lorraine’s union due to race (even if she states that that is her own problem and doesn’t object on those grounds), another reason she could think that way is the stigma mixed-race couples and children still faced in the 1980s (similar to what Guess Who's Coming to Dinner touched on in the 1960s), as her later disliking the child being potentially named “Lamar Zbornak” hints at. The same thing could apply to Greta as well.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Greta’s comment about Diana Ross marrying white men, considering Ross’ marriages to Robert Ellis Silberstein and Arne Næss Jr. resulted in four children, two of them being Evan Ross and Tracee Ellis Ross.
