The tv clip of Sally's show that Jerry watches has the actual WWOR-TV Ch 9 logo in the corner. Generally shows just make up logos so as not to have to pay to use the real one. (edit) Newman's comment about Sally's show being about "something" is to counter the fact that Seinfeld's show is the show about "nothing". (edit) Jerry mentioned how he’d never had a cable special. He finally gets a special that was aired soon after the series finale, "I'm Telling You for the Last Time" on HBO. (edit) Dave Antonoff asks if the character Mr. Elinoff was named after production assistant, Jed Elinoff? (edit) Viewer Jason Diersman notes that in Kathy Griffin's real life HBO comedy special she had a bit about how Jerry Seinfeld was rude to her when they were taping the first episode she appeared on, "The Doll". This is possibly the genesis for the premise of this episode? (edit)

Jerry: You ripped off a Ziggy?
Elaine: It must've seeped into my subconscious. Puddy has Ziggy bedsheets. (edit) Janet: I like gum.
George: I do too. You see, that's what we're about. You don't remind me of anyone and we love gum. (edit) Newman: (reffering to Sallys show) It's so great to see a show that's about something. (edit) Elaine: Everything with you has to be so jokey.
Jerry: I'm a comedian. (edit) Elaine: He said I could submit some of my own cartoons.
Jerry: Wow, that's incredible. But you don't draw.
Elaine: I do too.
Jerry: What, your sad little horsies? The house with the little curl of smoke? The sunflower with the smiley face. The transparent cube.
Elaine: It's better than your drawings of naked Lois Lane.
Jerry: Where did you see that? Those are private! (edit)

When Kramer first tells Jerry that "it's time for silence" George inexplicably yells, "Silence…yes!" This exclamation seems completely out of place, especially considering that it garners absolutely no reaction from either of Jerry or Kramer, and that immediately following making the comment, George begins to listen intently to the conversation. (edit) The order of the last scenes is different in syndication. In the original, the epilogue has Jerry and George at Monk's. He has already run out of Janet's apartment and George says, "We...must never ever speak of this again.." That scene has been excised. The aforementioned scene that has Janet and George in her apartment where he sees her with her hair cut, now appears as the epilogue (and frankly is a better ending). In the original it appeared BEFORE the last scene in Jerry's apartment with Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer watching the Sally special on cable. (edit) In "The Doll", Sally is a "big executive for FedEx", why/when/how would she become a struggling actress/comic? (edit) i noticed this .when jerry and kramer are talking and kramer says one of us should leave ...just before that ..the bottom side of the refrigerator is open and like a couple seconds later it's closed .... (edit) Sally tells Kramer in the coffee shop that she had just been recognized for her show; didn't Newman recognize to her when she was in the coffee shop earlier with Jerry? (edit)

Newman says that it's nice to see a show about something, refering to the content of Sally Weaver's show actually having a consistent subject. This is a reference to Jerry Seinfeld's act, and well as "Seinfeld" itself, in the sense that they are often regarded to be about nothing. (edit) A number of times in this episode two characters say "The New Yorker?" "Yes, the New Yorker." The phrase 'The New Yorker? Yes, the New Yorker' was the advertising slogan of "The New Yorker" magazine at the time of this episode's filming. (edit)
