- TriviaBuddy says, "He can always introduce his father as Willie Sutton." Sutton was a notorious bank robber. When the FBI created its Most Wanted list in 1950, he was on it.
- GoofsDuring the poker game, Beth says she has three queens. Lou is upset at having only jacks over tens, which is a full house. A full house beats three of a kind in poker. He should win the hand, but in the show she wins the hand. Maybe he was supposed to say "jacks and tens," which is only two pair, but blew his line.

Featured review
Rob...the card cheat.
When the story begins, Lou (Ed Platt) is stomping out of the Petrie home and going home. It seems that Lou caught Rob cheating at cards...although he did it unintentionally. As a result, the nice dinner party is ruined and Rob has a new enemy! How he did it unintentionally is shown in a lengthy flashback scene and you wonder if the Petries will ever see Lou and his wife again. Of course, Lou DOES seem like a sorehead, so you only assume they don't!
This is a clever and unusual episode. It's relatively low on laughs but high on interesting...well made and well worth seeing...even if Lou is a big sorehead.
