*Inside joke: Population
839 - the early episodes were shot on a shoestring budget of $839,000. (from Film and Television In-Jokes, Bill Van Heerden)
+ The actor who later plays Dave-The-Cook (Bill White) can be seen as an extra in this episode. At the end It's right as Marilyn starts dancing and Joel, who was leaving, sits back down in the benches. In the front of the crowd is Bill/Dave (with a bandana).
