Tom Arnold, not yet Roseanne's second husband at this time, plays the Aznad [inverse Danza] named character Arnie Thomas, for the first of nineteen times.  It's also the first of eight Roseanne stories by Norma Safford Vela, here collaborating with Danny Jacobson.  Dan has a bunch of his poker buddies over and, before the others arrive, Arnie gives Roseanne a kiss that flusters her.  She talks it out with Jackie, who's already a cop.  (Well, those six weeks flew by.)  The tag has Dan and his friends doing a sort of rap version of the Beverly Hillbillies theme.

Robert Miranda makes his first of three appearances as Andy, while Alan Blumenfeld, who's Zack, was a nameless man on Who's the Boss? in '85.
