John Finn (Mitch) would later appear in an episode of Frasier (1993) (Miracle on Third or Fourth Street (1993)) as a down on his luck man that helps Frasier on Christmas day.
When Sam tells Rebecca that he is going to try to make a comeback with the Red Sox, she sarcastically remarks that he's just trying to fulfill a fantasy, and that maybe she should try to fulfill her fantasy and go back to her high school prom, saying that "Maybe I'd have a pretty dress. Maybe I wouldn't weigh 300 pounds and be on tetracycline." Tetracycline is an antibiotic used for treatment of severe acne - although in The Last Angry Mailman (1987) it was revealed that when Rebecca was at college she had the nickname of "Back-Seat Becky", and tetracycline is also a treatment for venereal disease.
