According to writer J. Michael Straczynski, many of Janine's complaints about her appearance (eyes too close together, features too sharp, etc.) are based on actual changes to her looks demanded by the network following the first season. These demands are often cited among the reasons Straczynski quit the series in 1987.
As of this episode, the Ghostbusters' phone number is 555-BUST (555-2878).
Ray comes up with an excuse to get everyone else back to Ecto-1 before someone strips it. Previously, Ecto-1 was stripped once in "The Grundel", which is also another episode written by J. Michael Straczynski.
Janine's line, "Oooh, men! Can't live with 'em, can't sell 'em for parts!" is a favorite of producer Michael C. Gross.
Janine shifts her forms between Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, Lucretia Borgia, Marie Antoinette, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Marilyn Monroe.
