While being held hostage and trying to distract Nana Visitor's character, Dan flips on the TV, which is playing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He immediately changes the channel, sheepishly claiming, "seen it, already." John Larroquette was the film's narrator.
Guest stars Denny Dillon and Nana Visitor both appeared on Broadway together in 1983 in the hit musical "My One and Only". Dillon played a featured role for which she was nominated for a Tony Award. Visitor was one of the dancers in the ensemble.
