Sara Gilbert received story credit for the 1992 episode "Don't Make Me Over"; she was 17 at the time.
There is an "I love Bingo" sticker on the refrigerator; a nod to Roseanne's brief Bingo addiction in an earlier episode.
The episode title is a reference to the 1962 Pop song "Don't Make Me Over" written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, which was recorded by Dionne Warwick.
