- TriviaThough much has (unfortunately) changed in NYC, the opening establishing shot (60th at between 3rd/2nd aves) features Serendipity 3 (partially obscured begins the tree on the left) is still there - doing very well - almost 50 years after this episode was shot. He was also the son of Yvonne DeCarlo
- GoofsThe Monday Night Football games are portrayed as being played in New York, with the Giants as the home team. However, game footage clearly shows the games being played in Philadelphia and Dallas. It would also be unlikely that the Giants would play back to back Monday Night games, and in addition, Monday Night Football would not broadcast any games played in New York until 1979 after NFL Blackout rules were changed.

Oscar vs Howard Cosell
Oscar is having a feud with sportscaster Howard Cosell, ruining Felix's chance for a photo shoot with him.
Howard Cosell and Monday Night Football were very popular at that time, and Cosell appears as himself, portrayed as a rude egomaniac. Tony Randall later said that the ratings soared when Cosell appeared, so much they asked him back for another guest shot. There is a very funny moment when Oscar and Cosell trade barbs at Felix's photo shoot.
