Main characters named after two bars in Berkeley, CA: "Kips's" and "Henry's."

The pilot episode was shot on film, the rest of the series was shot on videotape.

In the summer of 1984 as Tom Hanks was becoming a household name thanks to the movie Splash (1984), NBC bought the rights to the ABC sitcom and re-aired selected episodes to lead off their Saturday Night line-up.

In a second season episode, an opening shot of Kip & Henry's building shows a California state flag flying outside. Since they work in New York City, this would be incorrect. It is an obvious stock shot of a downtown Los Angeles office building meant to imply Manhattan.

Cop: Could I have your name? Kip 'Buffy' Wilson: Well, you could, but it would be an incredible coincidence.

Kip 'Buffy' Wilson: She certainly gives credence to those rumors Eva Braun made it out.

Kip 'Buffy' Wilson: I ate my albino snake.
