Production history[]
- Premiere airdate: December 3, 1988
Continuity[]
- Eddie scolds Rick, saying “Quit upsetting my roaches!”
- It appears that Gordon receives mail at the diner, judging by the partially visible address.
- Stella says the man of her dreams “has lots of lint to buy [her] nice things with.” However, later in the same episode, Mervis says he “needed to make some wernick to pay for [a] train ticket.” It is unclear how lint is used for transactions since wernick and hose are already in use as currency.
- Stella says she didn’t know Gordon had a cousin in town. This implies that none of his relatives live locally.
- Stella says that “refined lint” is used to buy things. In contrast, she was not happy with lint dust. As it seems to be mined from somewhere on the planet Melmac, Stella may have meant that the wernick is on a "lint standard" just as our planet's money is backed by gold, silver, and other precious metals.
- Mervis appears to be a parody of Elvis Presley.
- When Gordon empties his dresser drawer, it is full of identical shirts. This explains why he wears the same shirt in every episode.
- Gordon says he wears his mother’s girdle to fit into his Orbit Guard uniform.
- Eddie’s apartment is shown, since his cousin Elaine stayed there during her visit.
- When a boy throws a squid at Gordon, his mother tells him not to throw his dessert.
- In a reference to the 1947 film, "A Streetcar Named Desire," Mervis yells “Stella!”
- Rick and Elaine agree to date again next year.
- None of Gordon’s family or pets appear in this episode, with the exception of Bismark in a matte painting.
