During her dinner with Dwayne, Whitley performs possibly the worst rendition ever of Michael Jackson's "Got to Be There." (edit) This is the first of many roles on the series for Michael Ralph. He later played Kim's lab partner and love interest, Spencer Boyer. (edit) Glynn Turman, Lou Myers and Sinbad do not appear in this episode. (edit)

Jaleesa: Don't wait up!
Whitley: (after Jaleesa exits) Hadn't planned on it. (edit) Whitley: I just I should just come out and say it.
Dwayne: What?
Whitley: I love you. (edit) Jaleesa: Nothin' says lovin' like Whitley cleaning the oven! (edit)

Ron tells Ray Nay that he was the rib-eating champ at Ray Nay's four years in a row. Since Ray Nay's closed in season 2, Ron's sophomore year, Ron must have hung out at Ray Nay's while he was attending high school in Detroit. (edit)
