    • Trivia
      According to Hailing Taxi: The Official Book of the Show, when Jim put his Dad's jacket on the recliner, the recliner moved back, as if his late Dad was sitting in it. This was not in the script, and Christopher Lloyd's reaction of surprise was genuine, but he stayed in character, so that was the take that was used.
    • Quotes

      Louie De Palma: Jim, your father is no longer with us.

      Louie De Palma: No, I mean, he's gone on to his final resting place.
