This episode won an Emmy for "outstanding
directorial achievement in television".
Sayings from this episode:
Dorothy: "This isn't a belch, Blanche. This is marriage!"
"A pilot is just a selling tool. It's one episode of the show and sometimes
the pilot is not necessarily the best show of the season. Sometimes shows find
their way after six, seven or eight episodes. But a lot of shows today get pulled
before they've ever had a chance to grow and find their way and get better." (Jay
Sandrich, Director der Pilotfolgen von The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Cosby Show,
Soap, Golden Girls, The Bob Newhart Show etc.)
