Trivia[]
- The scene in the seasons 1 and 2 opening credits where Judy and Laura are singing "Stop in the Name of Love" and the scene in the season 1 opening credits where Judy and Mother Winslow give each other a high five are both from this episode.
- The original cold open to this episode featured a scene with Judy and Laura telling Carl they are getting diapers for Rachel. After the original airing of this episode, the producers replaced it with a new cold open to feature Steve Urkel tricking Carl out of his sundae to make it look as if Urkel was on from the beginning. The first season DVD set uses the Steve Urkel version.
