Roseanne introduces her curly red-haired perm in this episode.
In this episode, Dan's birthday is celebrated in November (episode's original air date: November 6, 1990). Earlier, season one's episode, Dan's Birthday Bash, celebrates it in January (episode's original air date: January 3, 1989).
The family portrait that was taken back in episode 7: "The Memory Game", appears in this episode.
Dan: (thinking) Hair. Hair's different, do I like it? What if she doesn't like it? Better do something quick before...
Roseanne: Dan? Don't you like my hair?
Dan: (thinking) Too late. (out loud) It's great!
Roseanne: I don't believe you, Dan. I go out and get my hair done to make myself a little more attractive and you don't even notice? It's not like I did this for myself, its on top of my head! I can't even see it.
Jackie: Oh, come on, Dan you don't know that Roseanne's got PMS.
Roseanne: Dan. Do I look pretty?
Jackie: Oh my god! Run! Run, Dan! (runs away)
(Roseanne kicking out the stripper dressed as a bellhop that Arnie hired as a present to Dan for the surprise party) Roseanne: You're the reason why there'll never be a woman president!
Dan: I think I'll just go back into the bedroom, read the paper, and not talk to a soul. Is that okay with you, Roseanne? Roseanne (thinking): God, he gets so damn moody! Happens every month, too. Men!
Roseanne: (giving a toast) So here's to you, Dan Conner, my husband, my friend, my soulmate, my rock. Dan: (thinking) Dear God, let this end. Roseanne: A great big rock that does nothing but sit on the couch and watch TV. Dan: (thinking) That's it. God's a woman! Roseanne: Oh, you know, once in awhile it'll ask for a beer, and I'll have to go in the kitchen and get it, because after all, it is just a rock. And a rock can't just tip itself over and roll over to the refrigerator now can it? So I have to get the beer for it. Yeah. A big TV-watching beer-drinking rock.
Crystal: Just before my time of the month, when my hormones start acting up, I'm good for one solid day of pure mean. Jackie: You? Crystal: Oh, yeah. One time I went around and busted a streetlight for every man who ever broke my heart. Dan: I remember, the great blackout of '84.
Roseanne: (on the phone) This whole party thing seemed a lot better last week. Whose stupid idea was this anyway? Well, I know it was, Crystal, but you don't have to throw it back in my face!
Dan: Do I have to spell it our for you people? P-M-S! DJ: Oh my God! (makes to move out of chair, but instead falls over)
(referring to Roseanne's PMS) Dan: It's like a rollercoaster ride with Sybil at the switch.
This episode scored 28.2 million viewers in the ratings and ranked #7 for the week.
Dan: It's like a roller coaster ride with Sybil at the switch. "Sybil" is a 1976 TV movie based on a true story about a woman (real name Shirley Ardell Mason) who created at least 13 different personalities as a result of her horrible upbringing.
When Dan says, "The horror . . . the horror...," he was quoting the movie "Apocalypse Now" (inspired by the novel Heart Of Darkness). These were the dying words of Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando).
