Running Gag: Someone saying "Not that there's anything wrong with it". (edit) When this episode was first presented to NBC, they thought it was an absolute disaster. One of the main problems was that it was far too racy for public, and knew that it would offend the gay and lesbian couple. Later, as they were discussing how they could fix the insults to gays, someone in the meeting was saying that there's nothing wrong with being gay. This comment led to Jerry proposing the "not that there's anything wrong with that" line, which turned out to be a huge hit. The gay and lesbian communties especially liked this episode. (edit) Larry Charles was nominated for an Emmy for this episode. (edit) The hospital scene with George and his mother, when the male nurse comes in to give the male patient a sponge bath is a take off of a similar scene in the episode "The Contest." The dialogue between George and his mom, and the nurse and patient is almost identical. The only difference is the sex of the nurse and patient, obviously to go with the theme of this episode. (edit) Viewer Jerry Balsam notes in this episode that Estelle claims to have been helped up by the super; however, we all know that the Costanzas live in a house in Queens. (edit)

George: (trying one more tactic to end their relationship) I'm gay! I'm a gay man! I'm very, very gay.
Allison: You're gay?
George: Extraordinarily gay. Steeped in gayness. (edit) George: (trying to convince a reporter that he's not gay) Look, you wanna have sex right now? Do want to have sex with me right now? Let's go! C'mon, let's go baby! C'mon! (edit) George: (explaining how he and Jerry met) Actually it was in gym class. I was trying to climb the ropes and Jerry was spotting me. I kept slipping and burning my thighs and then finally I slipped and fell on Jerry's head. We've been close ever since. (edit) George: You can do better than me. You could throw a dart out the window and hit someone better than me. I'm no good! (edit) (When Elaine refuses to remove her coat)
George: Ya know, there are tribes in Indonesia where if you keep your coat on in somebody's house, the families go to war! (edit)

During the audience taping of this show, Estelle Harris couldn't be there, so Fran Drescher went on to fill in Estelle's role in front of the audience, so that way their laughter could be recorded for the version with Estelle that was later filmed. (edit) The article refers to George as "Costanza," but Jerry only ever introduced him to Sharon as "George." (edit) When Sharon is interviewing Jerry, the zipper on her sweatshirt moves up and down between shots. (edit) Answering the question of how is it that the reporter has a boyfriend and is dating Jerry... In this episode it seems that she could be making up the fact that she has a boyfriend, just to make them feel better (like she empathizes with them because they're "gay"). Also, she could be referring to a past boyfriend, or one she recently broke up with. (edit) Why is it that Estelle Costanza has a male roomate? (edit)
