In May during the Perfect Strangers panel for the WizardWorld Virtual Experiences 2020 convention, both Bronson and Mark agreed that this was there favorite episode.
The script for this episode would be reworked for Perfect Strangers spin-off Family Matters first season episode called Bakers Dozen. That episode follows a practically identical storyline in which Carl Winslow is convinced by his sister in law Rachel to bake thousands of his homemade dessert tort for a Chicago restauranteur enlisting the entire family to help.
Balki lists ¨a really good episode of Moonlighing¨ as one of the things that can't be rushed, then adds, ¨Any episode of Moonlighting.¨ Moonlighting (1985) was a comedy mystery series starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd which also aired on ABC and was just entering its last season. Moonlighting had by then become infamous for having such long production delays many episodes were not completed in time for air, forcing the network to play reruns in its time slot. As well, ABC created promos technically *for* Moonlighting that poked fun at it for keeping them and the audience waiting.
