When Bob invites him to go for Thai food, Mort says, "I'll pass. I forgot to set my VCR. Gotta see what Corbin Bernsen's wearing tonight." Bob replies, "I never watch that show," referring to L.A. Law (1986), as he is a newshound. Mort claims that he is more interested in Diane Sawyer, referring to Primetime (1989). This is an-joke as Knots Landing (1979) aired on Thursdays at 10 o'clock on CBS opposite L.A. Law (1986) on NBC from 1987 to 1993 and opposite Primetime (1989) on ABC from 1989 to 1993.
