Al and Jefferson (as well as the entire bar) gets into a fight over who was in the first Lite Beer commercial: Bubba Smith or Billy Martin. Although both of these athletes appeared in Lite Beer commercials in the 1970s, neither one of them were first. That honor went to ex-New York Jets fullback Matt Snell in 1973.
Both creators, Ron Leavitt and Michael Moye were writers on "The Jeffersons".
The program with the women wrestling in lettuce Al comments on at the new sports bar was Foxy Food Fight shot live at Whiskey A Go Go in 1987.
When attending The Jeffersons' live show, an announcer says that Ralph the Doorman would be played by Erik Estrada. In the original series, the character was played by Ned Wertimer, who was on a hiatus from acting at the time this episode aired.
