The beach house that Linahan lives in is a familiar house used on various TV shows in the 70's and 80's. It is located just down the beach in Malibu where Jim Rockford lived in The Rockford Files. In fact, it was used as the home of his father Rocky when that show first started.
Linahan's address is 153 and one-half Malibu Beach Road. She stays in the guest house in the rear.
Second and final appearance of Cassandra Peterson as Elvira. She had previously appeared earlier in the season in "CHiPs" (1977) {Rock Devil Rock (#6.4)}.
When Poncherello and Bruce Nelson are leaving the comic book store, Elvira tells them "Unpleasant dreams..." This was a line she used in her then-airing program Elvira's Movie Macabre (1981).
This is the second credited directed episode for Robert Pine. The first being season 5, episode 25 Overload.
