In an early scene, the team calls an ice-cream truck company to find out which route plays Mulberry Bush. Later, this plot element would be copied by Fransom (1997), whereby Fran Fine tells her friend Val that she heard the ice-cream truck play some Bette Middler song, and she knows the only place in NYC where this happens. Fran Drescher's then writer-husband (Peter Marc Jacobson) notoriously copied material---and even entire premises---from many sitcoms to create theirs, including Who's the Boss? It's a Living, Wings and---most notably---Ellen. It appears an insomniac someone was up one night and caught a re-run of this title, back in the '90s.
