To spoof the title which no longer matches the content of the series, in the second season the producers started adding self-deprecating jokes to the show's title card. The one for this episode read Do we have to do this joke forever? "Cougar Town".
Jules Cobb (Courtney Cox) yells, "Give me back my son!" This is a take off of the movie "Ransom" (1996) when Tom Mullen (Mel Gibson) gets a proof-of-life telephone call from his son's kidnappers.
