Trivia
The character of Mammy Watkins was originally written for and offered to Esther Rolle. This would have been a reunion for Rolle who co-starred with Bea Arthur from 1972 to 1973 on Maude. Rolle, however, declined the role.

Goofs
Mammy scolds Blanche by referring to her as "Blanche Marie" but later episodes reveal her middle name to be Elizabeth.

Quotes
Rose Nylund: You know, I had a nanny when I was a child. She was my best friend. I could tell her anything and I'd know she would keep it a secret. We used to spend the days running and playing in the meadow or playing hide and seek in the barn. My nanny treated me like I was her own kid.
[she is overcome with emotion]
Rose Nylund: Excuse me.
[she leaves the room]
Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Is there anyone here who doesn't think she was talking about a goat?
[Sophia and Blanche indicate 'No' shaking their heads without a word]
