This episode, mostly set in a prison and missing Jerry, would be one of the weakest episodes of the series, but it does have the scene shown below.

Taurean Blacque as Arthur Tatum, Allen Case as Steve Kopelson, Ric Mancini as Al Brolio, and Bert Rosario as Reuben Ortiz would all return in "Son of an Ex-Con Job."  Greg Lewis, who plays the Man on the Elevator, would be a Bartender on Who's the Boss?  This is the only BNS script written by Ziggy Steinberg, who would do one for Three's Company the next year.
