Trivia[]
- The sexism of the '70s is pretty blatant with Dr. Ashton addressing Kitty as 'Nurse' and being condescending, and Red's tone when he mentions Eric doing Career Day with Kitty, indicating that nursing is a gender-biased profession. This is somewhat countered, however, by Red's teaching Jackie how to work on a car.
- After Hyde's fight with Edna, he goes to the Forman's to find Eric, and talks to Red, indicating that Hyde considers them family and people to depend on.
- Eric finds new appreciation for his mother and the impressive work she does.
- Bob tells Donna that he's 'Bargain Bob' so that he can give her the life that she deserves and realise her potential.
- Red watches Donahue, as he's working half-days.
- Kitty is the funny one at work.
- Jackie and Kelso broke up in the previous episode, but in one scene Jackie is spotted sitting in his lap. In the next scene, they are back to being broken up again.
- Jackie and Red become friends.
- Actor Steve Ireland is billed as Dr. Ashley, however, you can see his nametag actually reads as "K, ASHTON DR."; as in Ashton Kutcher.
- First appearance of Edna Hyde.
- First and Last appearance of John Kelso.
