CREW: During the early scenes when Chet Kincaid (Bill Cosby) is talking to Calvin's wife on the pay phone, various crew members and objects can be seen reflected in the glass of the phone booth. These include someone sitting on a low chair or stool, a tall yellow deck chair, and a man in a blue shirt and tan pants leaning against something near the booth. During the sequence when Calvin's wife gives Chet her telephone number, a hand holding a pen and turning pages can also be seen in a reflection near the lower left side of the screen.

A recurring gag in this episode is that people keep thinking that Chet (Bill Cosby) is from Ohio because he is wearing an Ohio State sweatshirt. When the police detective asks him where he is from, Chet responds that he was born "in the City of Brotherly Love" (i.e., Philadelphia). Bill Cosby, of course, is indeed from Philadelphia.
