Trivia[]
- The episode was set in 1976, which was supposed to be the Season 1 finale.
- The episode synopsis misspelled Bernice's surname.
- While reminiscing about Bernice, Red tells she was the fiirst person to call him "Red", revealing to the audience that it is a nickname. His legal first name (Reginald) will be revealed six seasons later in Oh, Baby (We Got a Good Thing Goin').
Goofs[]
- After Bernice dies in the car, she can be seen blinking while her head is on Eric's shoulder.
- Laurie says she has a final she was really unprepared for, even though we had found out she had flunked out of college in "A New Hope". Either this is a goof or a very weird lie.
- On some DVD sets, such as the Dutch version of That 70s Show - The Complete Collection, the episode starts with placeholder title cards saying "Date Here", "Time Here", and "Location Here" instead of respectively "Sunday Evening", "8:38 P.M.", and "Eric Forman's Driveway".
