All of Vicki Lewis's scenes were shot separately because she was away filming the movie "Mouse Hunt." She would be completely absent from the following episode, "Sleeping," for the same reason.
Although this episode is titled "Our Fiftieth Episode", it actually ended up airing as the 48th. But it was however, the 50th episode they filmed.
Andy Dick only makes a brief appearance in this episode, and he has no lines of dialogue in this episode.
Jon Lovitz's character offers Bill McNeil (Hartman) a cigarette. When the Lovitz character offers to also light the cigarette, he suddenly shoves a lit cigarette lighter towards McNeil, who backs way alarmedly. Lovitz character tells McNeil, "Fire good." This is likely an in-joke. Phil Hartman's Frankenstein character on "Saturday Night Live," on which Lovitz was a castmate, could only speak a few words, two of them being "Fire bad." [05.16.2020]
In the opening scene where Bill McNeill has his run-in over a parking violation, Bill is driving a Mazda Miata. In episode 2:10 XMas Story, Bill and his colleagues all receive Miatas as gifts from their boss Jimmy James...except for Matthew.
