Trivia
The first episode where Leon (Martin Mull) openly announces that he is gay. In reality, Martin Mull married his wife Wendy Haas 1982 and had a daughter named Maggie.

Goofs
In Season 2, when Tom Arnold's Arnie is first introduced, Roseanne and Jackie act like this is a relative newcomer to the community. Roseanne even asks Jackie if she knows the guy in the kitchen with the plaid shirt. In this episode, it's apparent he grew up with the gang. When Jackie reveals to the girls that she slept with Arnie, Roseanne says that they had a pact in high school that they wouldn't let him breed. And for some reason it is suggested that Bonnie was in high school with them too. Bonnie was too old for that to be believed.

Quotes

Leon Carp: Yeah, yeah, sure I know him. From Chicago. Gay Bill.
Dan: Smooth, Chucky.
Chuck Mitchell: What? Nobody else was sayin' anything!
