Mistakes/Goofs
- Goof (continuity error): Mary and Rhoda are sitting down at Mary's dinner table eating a salad while discussing the single life. The table is set with 2 plates and a salad bowl. When, all of a sudden in the middle of one of Rhoda's quips about her mother calling her "an old maid" when she turned 21, the camera cuts to a wide shot and they are both drinking coffee and holding mugs with no visible salad bowl or salad plates in sight. This is a continuity issue because it happens right in the middle of Rhoda's sentence.
Trivia
- The title quotes the words of the Bar Mitzvah boy's speech or the Hebrew right of passage, "Today, I am a man."
- Episode depicts the first of Mary's notoriously disastrous parties.
- It is mentioned that the address of the Victorian apartment building where Mary, Rhoda and Phyllis live is 119 North Weatherly.
