This episode won the 1995 WGA Award (TV) for Episodic Comedy. This episode was nominated for the 1994 DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy Series. This episode was nominated for the 1994 Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Directing in a Comedy Series. (edit) For the first four seasons, Jerry had an electric stove. Beginning this season, he has a gas range. In this episode, Kramer lights a cigar off the stove, so the switch might have been made simply to accommodate that scene.

It is also possible that the stove was changed for reasons of product placement. In Season 5, with the popularity of the show, we begin to see familiar products prominently displayed. Kramer lighting the cigar may simply have been to draw attention to the fact that Jerry's stove is gas. (edit) The way George says "Im back, baby" is the same way his father says it in "The Fatigues" after he tries his wife's eggs (edit) The co-writing credit for the teleplay that was credited to Buck Dancer, is changed to Larry David in the syndicated reruns. Larry must have decided to use a pseudonym for the original broadcast. Buck is also the first name George would use if he was a porn star, the full name being Buck Naked. (edit)

Kramer: (admiring Elaine's ability to fake it) You know, I heard her screaming from my apartment. She woke me up a few times. (edit) Jerry: Nobody knows what to do. You just close your eyes, you hope for the best. I really think they're happy if you just make an effort. (edit) George: I think I'll have a chocolate malted here! (edit) George: You're very good. Very good with the moanings and the gyrations. You really had me going there for a minute.
Karen: You think I was faking?
George: Come on: 'Oh George, oh Geeeooorge!' Come on! Not that I don't appreciate the effort that was put into it. (edit) George: I don't want any mango.
Kramer: Come on, take some. It's good.
(George tries a piece)
George: Very good. Juicy. Ripe. This Joe's got some terrific fruit.
(George looks a little weird)
Jerry: What?
George: I feel like I got a B12 shot. This is like a taste explosion!
Kramer: I told you.
(George stands still)
Jerry: What is it?
George: I think it moved. Oh my god, I think it moved. Yeah, give me the big piece. I'll see you later.
(Elaine enters the apartment)
Elaine: Hi George.
George: I'm back, baby, I'm back! (edit)

Joe bans Kramer from his store for trying to return a bad piece of fruit. However, in Season 2's "The Ex-Girlfriend," Kramer told Jerry that Joe accepts returns on bad fruit. (edit) “La Boîte en Bois”, the name of the restaurant George and Karen go to, means “The Wooden Box” in English. (edit) If you pause and look at the tapes on Jerry's shelf you will see they each say different stuff. Many can't be seen but one in this episode clearly has the word "Boning" on it. (edit) The sign on the wall in Joe's Fruit Shop reads, "Prices subject to change according to customer's attitude." (edit) In the episode "The Abstinence", which aired a few seasons after this one, Elaine wanted to have sex with Jerry because she was dumb, but in this episode she doesn't because it would ruin the friendship. I guess the stupidity made her forget the friendship. (edit)
