Notes

A "May/December romance" is a love affair where there is a significant age difference between the two partners.
The two galleries, the Zelman and Offerman, are named for Debra and Megan's husbands (Daniel Zelman and Nick Offerman).
The noodle incident actually happened to series writer/producer Bill Wrubel. They wanted to charge him for new noodles after they dropped on the floor and he and his friends boycotted the restaurant; he saw his friends eating there two days later.
This episode was TiVo's #6 most-recorded show of the week.
