Parts of this program were filmed in October 1982 at the real-life Carousel Ball, an annual event that benefited the Children's Diabetes Foundation of Denver, and famously featured cameos by former President Gerald Ford and his wife and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Each received the standard $330 union payment for their appearances.
This is the only episode of the entire series to actually have some scenes shot in Denver.
The scene of Kathleen Beller (Kirby) sitting in a vintage car was likely intended to pay homage to her acclaimed role in The Betsy (1978).
