Justin Whalin played a character "Wally Zimmerman" in this episode.He would later go on to return several more times as other characters.
The show was originally titled Richie. It was designed to include the exact same characters and general storyline, only it would center around Joey Lawrence's character, and it would be like a sitcom version of the book Catcher in the Rye. The network liked the idea, but an NBC executive suggested that they focus on the youngest daughter instead. So that's the way it ended up, and the middle son's name was changed to Joey.
Blossom's parents started out with the names Terry and Barbara, but starting with the second episode, it was changed to Nick and Madolyn.
In the pilot, the younger of Blossom's elder brothers was called Donnie. In the series he was renamed Joey. Both were played by Joey Lawrence.
In the episode, Richard Masur (Terry Russo) and Barrie Youngfellow (Barbara Russo) also known as Blossom's parents are played by different actors.
