==Trivia==
*Bulldog has an outburst (the first of many throughout the series) where he says: "Hey, where the hell's my Cosell tape? Somebody stole my Cosell tape! THIS STINKS! THIS IS TOTAL B.S.! THIS... oh, here it is." Howard Cosell was an American sports journalist that died about two years after this episode first aired. A few moments later Bulldog almost starts another outburst while searching for his tape of Tommy Lasorda, a former Major League baseball pitcher and manager.
*After Bulldog tells Frasier that sports keep kids from fantasizing or committing murder, Frasier mockingly agrees saying: "Yes. If only Jeffrey Dahmer had picked up a squash racquet". Dahmer was a convicted American serial killer and sex offender who was killed in prison thirteen months after this episode first aired.
*While arranging to read his book (The Holotropic Mind by Stanislav Grof) on the couch and pouring himself a drink Frasier hums the Toreador Song from Georges Bizet's Carmen.
*At Café Nervosa, Niles says to his waiter "Caffè latte, per piacere", which is translated (Italian to English) "Café latte, please." When the drink arrives, he complements this with "Mille grazie" ("Many (lit. a thousand) thanks").
*Each episode has a different beginning title to do with the Skyline of Seattle. This episode features an elevator going up the Space Needle.
CONTINUITY
*In this episode, Frasier tells Martin and Daphne that he is not a morning person, saying "I have to ease into my day slowly." However, in The Guilt Trippers, Roz fills out a service evaluation card to assess his lovemaking, to which Frasier cautions her to remember that it was late at night "and I'm really more of a morning person."
*Bulldog barges in to use Frasier's radio broadcast booth saying the studio he broadcasts from (studio C) lost transmitter link (STL) power. In future episodes, however, he is always broadcasting from Frasier's booth without explanation.
