The footage seen during Lee Curreri's credit in the opening sequence of the first three seasons is taken from the musical number "We Got The Power" seen in this episode.
In an early draft of the script for "Alone in a Crowd", Carlo Imperato's character, Danny Amatullo, was still listed as Ralph Garcy, a character from the movie version of Fame (1980) (played by Barry Miller). Garcy was replaced by Danny following the pilot episode, Metamorphosis (1982), in which he was played by Tommy Aguilar.
