This episode was nominated for several Emmy awards and won in the Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series category.
Out of all the 264 episodes of the show, Kelsey Grammer spent less time on screen in only one episode besides this one (season 4's Head Game (1996)). The reason was because this was the first episode of the show he directed. He wound up directing 36 episodes, the second-most in the show's history behind series creator David Lee (41 episodes).
The celebrity caller in this episode is Jodie Foster who plays Marlene, an over-worked housewife who announced that, if her husband and she didn't find a time to themselves to have sex, she would go to a department store and pick up a stranger.
