Trivia

When Lamont demands Fred admit he's been neglecting his work, Fred asks Lamont if he thinks he's Sam Ervin. Ervin (D-NC), became a national figure when he chaired the Senate Watergate Committee in 1973, playing a key role in uncovering the facts of the Watergate scandal which was being heard when this episode was being filmed.

Quotes

Donna Harris: [after complaining about the sex and violence in modern movies] You know, Fred, I miss the old movies.
Fred G. Sanford: Yeah, me too. Y'know, like Mickey Rooney in "Love Finds Andy Hardy." If they made that same movie today, they'd have to call it "Love Finds Andy Naked."
