A new version of "My Life" is used. The intro starts with how Kip and Henry went from losing their apartment to how they had to dress as women to move into the Susan B. Anthony hotel (the clips all come from the pilot episode). From there, the updated theme music plays.
(edit)
Isabelle's piano player is Bob Rosario. Although he is not mentioned in the end credits, she thanks him by name after her song. Rosario was best known as Bobby Darin's pianist, and also worked with Tony Orlando and Dawn.
(edit)
Bob Saget, who played "Bob The Comic", was known primarily as a stand-up comic at this time. He would later work with Robert L. Boyett and Thomas L. Miller, series' creators and executive producers, and Don Van Atta, the series' producer, on thier later series, "Full House".
(edit)
Comedy club owner "Budd Shore" was a combination of Budd Friedman, owner of "The Improv" comedy club, and Mitzy Shore, owner of the "Comedy Store" club, and mother of comedic actor Paulie Shore.
