Night Court

This was the only episode Harry Anderson did not appear on. They explained his absence as being sick by food poisoning.

Bull is a nickname (when Hank learned she was pregnant her response was 'Bull!') -- his given name is Nostradamus.

Phil's full name was Philip Alphonse Sanders.

This show was filled with numerous characters and references to behind the scenes people. One of the characters was named for stage manager Paul Coderko. A case mentioned two of the production staff Peggy A. Vargas and Kathleen Griffin. The DJ worked at radio station WEGE, named for Night Court creator Reinhold Weege.

The posthypnotic suggestion placed on Bull was triggered with (thanks to Dan) the phrase "I want to be your love slave."

The members of Bull's bald bailiffs group were from a nationwide Bull lookalike contest.

This episode reveals Dan's original first name is Reinhold. An obvious nod to Reinhold Weege, the creator of the series, in addition to one of its writers, producers, and some time actor. Dan had legally changed his name from Reinhold Elmore to Daniel Fielding after leaving Louisiana.

After Dan is given the opportunity to be free of the bomb if he can remember the bomber's name, he gives the name Bob Underwood as a guess. Bob Underwood was one of the series writers and, at one time, its executive story editor.

The Bull dummy (which first appears in episode #58 - The Next Voice You Hear) makes its 3rd appearance in this episode.

The "outrageous gag" that Harry was working on involved a hang-glider, the Statue of Liberty, and a giant pair of Groucho Marx gag glasses.

Dan gets claustrophobic while stuck in the elevator and tells Roz his claustrophobia stems from an incidence in childhood. This does not follow with a previous episode, The Blizzard, in which Dan was also trapped in that very same elevator with a man for a much longer period of time and exhibited no signs of claustrophobia.

The baby that Harry Anderson is holding is his own son Dashiell, who was six months old at the time the episode aired.

Florence's maiden name (as revealed on her birth certificate) is Nightengale.

Although Harry never saw him, this was Mel Tormé's first appearance on the show.

While Bull, Dan and Christine are sitting in the cafeteria, pay attention to the antenna of Bull's portable TV after he takes it back from Dan's hand and replaces it with a spoon. The antenna is on the right side of the TV, then it appears on the left, then it is back on the right side again.

Dan's new boss, Vincent, corrects Christine concerning Greenberg v. Wisconsin by saying it was overturned "On August 17, 1977. I believe it was a Thursday." Harry interjects jokingly with, "It was a Tuesday." In fact, The World Almanac and Book of Facts says they're both wrong: August 17, 1977, was a Wednesday.

At 7' 2", Wendell (played by Kevin Peter Hall) loomed over Bull (played by Richard Moll) who was a "mere" 6' 8.5"!

Harry is left handed.

What is the other attorney doing there working with Dan anyway? They never had two prosecutors before of after. Was she a trainee? The show never explained why she was there..

As Harry Stone walks near the "jury box/waiting area", you can see the boom mic a couple of times.
