Margaret says not all of the boys that Jim has tried to fix up with Betty don't look like Rock Hudson. For those who don't know, he was a beefcake heart throb during the 1950s and 1960s.
Jim says, "We're not living in Dogpatch." This is an allusion to the comic strip Lil Abner, where the denizens live in Dogpatch.
Don Garner, the actor playing Bob Tyler, looked a bit long in the tooth to be playing a teenager at age 32.
Betty and Bob, as well as their parents, mention William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" in the context of the situation in which Betty and Bob find themselves, a story about two lovers separated by their families' feud.
The title alludes to the Hatfield-McCoy feud waged, often violently, between two Virginia/Kentucky families for approximately 30 years in the late 1800s.
