Notes and Trivia
This is the second episode in which Jerry's green bike is blue and silver. In the next episode and onward it's green again.
This is the second episode where Kramer mentions his friend Bob Saccamano. The first was in season three's "The Heart Attack".
The credits display "In Memory of our Friend John Oteri". John was one of the production assistants on the previous seasons.
On the Season 5 DVD, there is a deleted scene in which Amy is actually making out with Jerry's cousin Jeffrey.
Rance Howard (Ron Howard's father) who plays the blind man in this episode returns in Season 7 as the farmer in "The Bottle Deposit (2)".
Jerry says that he is getting a "Commando 8" air conditioner. The "Commando" name would be recycled in a later episode when Kramer gets a "Commando 5000" shower head.
The scene where George spots a dime on the far side of Jerry's apartment is an allusion to a scene in "The Great Escape" where "The Forger" (Donald Pleasence) is nearly blind, so he stages a deception wherein he spots and then picks up a pin to prove he can see well enough to participate in the escape.
Goofs
When Elaine is peeling the orange it goes from about one-third peeled to completely peeled in a matter of seconds.
