The outside of Houston's house is the same one used as the exterior of the Bradford home in Eight Is Enough (1977).
When Houston signs the agreement to purchase the estate form, she dates it '3/9/76'. This episode aired 2/20/1976.
When Jim goes to pay a visit on Houston's boyfriend, J. Sprecht, at the Sunset Marquis Hotel, at least one name on the building's register is a member of The Rockford Files (1974)' crew; 'R. Zilliox', is Robert L. Zilliox, an art director for the series during this season.
This is the first episode that doesn't end in a freeze frame.
Lane Bradbury (Houston) was married at the time to Lou Antonio, who directed five episodes of this series.
