  • Goof: After about 15 minutes, Det. Rush asks the man in charge of the "Brotherly Love" moving company about James. When he replies, "That guy is a hell of a worker", a mic can be seen above the moving truck. edit »
  • We learn that Lilly has a sister. edit »
  • Lilly's cell phone number is 555-0198. edit »
  • Goof: In the opening scene, there is a tea kettle that whistles. When the boiling water is poured out, the kettle is clearly not the type that whistles. edit »

  • Title: Sherry Darlin'
    The episode title is a reference to the song Sherry Darling by Bruce Springsteen. The song tells about a young man's frustration with having to help his mother when all he wants to do is be with his girlfriend, Sherry. edit »
  • In the opening scene, James tells Krystal that the televangelist program on TV is a scam. This is a reference to televangelist Jim Bakker who in 1989 was convicted of fraud and conspiracy for stealing donations and defrauding investors. edit »
  • Sherry Stephens: You can see Nirvana any time.

    In 1989 (the year this episode's crime took place), Nirvana had released their first album, Bleach. Presumably the tickets Sherry mentions are for a Nirvana concert. edit »
