    • Trivia
      The title is from the 1938 screwball comedy starring Katharine Hepburnand Cary Grant about a zany heiress, an uptight professor and a leopard named Baby.
    • Goofs
      The Keaton household has only one phone line (number) despite having several telephones meaning only one call can go out or come in at a time. Therefore, there would be no way for Alex to call out until Jennifer hangs up: thus, the likely reason for Jennifer's irritation when she realizes that after she hung up in response to Alex's threat to call Adam.
    • Quotes

      Alex P. Keaton: All right, Jennifer, your time's up. You get off the phone now, or I'll call Adam and tell him you like him.

      Jennifer Keaton: I'll call you right back, okay, Chrissie?

      Jennifer Keaton: [pauses then irritated] That was a dirty trick, Alex.
