The name of the teacher Dottie McGowen is named after the hair stylist for the show, though her last name is spelled differently.
The name of Bud's new teacher, Mrs A. Mariner, is a play on the title of Samuel Coleridge Taylor's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".
This episode was taped just three days after David Faustino's 18th birthday, which means that even though he was technically underage while rehearsing a scene in which Bud Bundy is seduced by his 40-year-old teacher who, in real life, celebrated her 42nd birthday just one day after this episode was taped, David had reached legal age just in time for the producers to avoid any law enforcement matters.
Charlotte Ross, who plays a classmate (and possible romantic interest) of Bud's, auditioned for the role of Kelly Bundy when the show was originally being cast.
This episode was taped on March 6, 1992.
