Matt says his weekly sex date with his wife is at 8:30 on Wednesdays, during "Head of the Class." "Head of the Class" (1986-1991) was a rival sitcom running opposite "Sydney" at that time.
While discussing youthful sex fantasies, Sydney and Billy reference long-running weekly news magazine broadcast "Sixty Minutes" (1968 - present) when they mention Mike Wallace, Andy Rooney segments, and a ticking stopwatch.
Matt compares himself to Hugh Beaumont, who played Mr. Cleaver, father to Wally and Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver, on Leave It to Beaver (1957-63).
Matt mentions Gladys Cravitz, the nosy neighbor of Samantha and Darren Stephens on the sitcom "Bewitched"(1964-72).
"Kramer vs. Kramer" was a 1979 movie about a difficult divorce, starring Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep as parents battling for custody of their young son.
