Trivia
BJ says that a patient is "thinner than 3 2 beer". This refers to beer that is 3.2% alcohol by volume, which was the limit for alcohol near the end of Prohibition. Today, beer in this range would be considered "light" or "watered down" (thin).

Goofs
When assigning new roles to each team member, Klinger refers to Kellye as Nurse Nakahara, the actress' real life last name, rather than her character name: Nurse Yamato.

Quotes
Charles: And you call yourself a chef.
Sgt. Pernelli: No. I call myself a cook. Chefs ain't got tattoos.

Christmas, Pernelli and Nurse Kellye Nakahara

I only learned a few moments ago about the sad loss of Kellye Nakahara:( Kellye featured in this episode although strangely Klinger referred to her as Nurse Nakahara instead of Nurse Yamato. Kind of like when Luke Skywalker supposedly called out Carrie instead of Leia I guess. In this episode, Val Bisoglio plays Sgt. Pernelli, who gets top billing in the supporting cast. But he appeared in only three episodes, whereas Nurse Kellye was a keeper and a loveable character for sure.
