The car Mike steers into the home driveway is a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda convertible.
Bart LaRue makes his second appearance as a football coach. He previously played Peter's coach in Season two's "The Drummer Boy".
Carol's being upset that Greg is playing football makes no sense since in season 2, " The Drummer Boy", Peter was playing football and she expressed no concern.
Toward the end of the program, Greg is taking down his developed photographs which are attached to a string with binder clips. These are Esterbrook brand clips, which were made in the USA. Esterbrook primarily produced fountain pens and was in operation from 1858 to 1971. (The brand name for their pens was revived in 2014, but not the clips.) These Art Deco style clips are now collectible items, and came in a variety of sizes. The clips were crafted especially well, using both "spring steel" and "ball bearings".
