Episode Goofs
The place that Al gets her latest job at, "Hello, Mr. Chips", is said by the manager to be the hottest growing "mall" franchise in the country. And Mr. Chips is the company's mascot, a valuable mascot at that. One that would not be subject to going home with a person who had just worked at the place for one day. Most likely, Mr. Sloan, would have had to be responsible for him or get fired.
Cultural References
Tarzan and Jane: Tarzan and Jane are referred to numerous times over the course of this episode as Frank and Carol are playing them in a fundraiser. The characters were created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912 and were later featured in numerous films and TV series.
