  • In this episode while Becker is ranting in the office about spending a lot of money on Chris, John says "Who am I, Fraiser?" The reason this is funny is because, Ted Danson, who plays John Becker, also starred in Cheers as Sam Malone. Kelsey Grammer played Fraiser on Cheers, and then had his own spin off of Cheers that was called Frasier. edit »
  • From the end of this episode to the end of the series, Chris owns and runs the diner, having bought it from the absent Reggie. edit »
