The actors onstage during Steinberg and Son had to dub in their voices later, as the sound system was set up in the audience where the principal actors were sitting.
In one scene, the actor who plays Mr. Steinberg demands that NBC remove the windows from his dressing room. This is a reference to how Redd Foxx demanded to have windows installed in his dressing room. Foxx's request was denied so he left the show during the third season. He returned for the fourth season.
The Steinberg and Son set is the same set used for Fred Sanford's living room slightly redressed.
The character name of Bernie Taub is a mashup of Bernie Orenstein and Saul Turteltaub, the show's writers.
First on-screen acting credit for John Larroquette, best known for portraying District Attorney Dan Fielding on "Night Court" (1984).
