Linda tells John that she is a Libra (and that it should have been obvious), thus making her birthday fall between September 23 and October 23. (edit) Russ Woody (Pearson) is also one of the main writers for Becker. (edit)

Mr. Garland: If I'm not dying, I'm a dead man! (edit) John Becker: I kind of envy Brad Pitt, because he's not involved in this conversation. (edit)

When Mr. Pearson asks to use the restroom, the door he goes through has a sign that reads Restrooms. This is actually the women's restroom during most of the series, while the men's restroom is located in the hallway closer to the exam rooms and Becker's office. Only a few episodes in Season 4 have the Women sign replaced with the generic Restrooms sign.
(edit) When Becker takes a look through the ceiling panels and he sees the rat, you can see him saying something with no audio. Then the screen goes black and we hear just the audio: "Oh sweet Jesus!" It seems that the audio and video got out of sync. (edit)
