| This episode is sometimes simply known as "Pilot" or "The Golden Girls".
| This episode features some continuity fallacies. Originally, Coco the gay cook was to be a regular character, however, he was written out after this episode with no explanation.
| Several scenes were re-shot in this episode. A sharp viewer can tell the difference between the reshoots, as in some scenes Blanche has more hair than others. This is because Rue McClanahan had gotten a haircut by the time the reshoots came along.

| Dorothy: It's wonderful dating in Miami; all the men under 80 are cocaine smugglers.
| Sophia: I sleep like a log. I never get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I go in the morning. Every morning like clockwork. At 7:00 AM, I pee. Unfortunately, I don't wake up till 8:00.
| Rose: Oh, what a day. One sad person after another.
Dorothy: Rose, you work at grief counseling. What do you expect, comedians?
| Rose: I know he's dead. I just like talking about him in the present tense sometimes. Makes him seem closer.
Coco: That's fine Rose, you do that.
Dorothy: Sure Rose, set a place at the table.
| Dorothy: A man in a 3-piece suit came in to defend Tiffany, a bald girl with a nose ring.
| Dorothy: Ma, the taxi driver said you promised him a $67 tip!
Sophia: Don't be ridiculous, I said a $6, $7 tip! Why don't these people learn English if they're gonna live here? This is Miami--I have less trouble getting around Ecuador!
| Blanche: And this is Sophia.
Harry: Well, you must be Blanche's sister.
Sophia: And you must be blind.
Blanche: Sophia's home just burnt down.
Harry: That's terrible.
Sophia: Not to me. It was a retirement home, and you know what they did? They set off fire alarms in a retirement home. Who can rush? Half the people have walkers, the other half can't get out of their chairs, but they have bells going off like crazy. You know what that does to hearts that only beat a few times a week?! It's not pretty!
| Blanche: Oh, Sophia, honey! How nice to see you!
Sophia: Who are you?
Blanche: It's me, Blanche.
Sophia: You look like a prostitute!
Rose: Sophia! The things you say! She didn't mean that, Blanche.
Sophia: Of course I mean it. Look at her--my cab driver would fall in love! Can I get something to eat or is the fancy man in the kitchen?
| Rose: Come sit down here, Sophia. You must be exhausted.
Sophia: Why? I rode in the cab, I didn't push it!

| Dorothy: I can't get through to New Jersey with MCI.
MCI was one of the leading telephone companies in the 1980s.
| Dorothy: She has more colors than Benjamin Moore Paints.
Dorothy compares Blanche's makeup collection to the popular paint chain Benjamin Moore.
