Corrected entry: Gary Ewing named his son Bobby in honor of his brother Bobby who had died, an event which occurred on the show "Dallas," from which "Knots Landing" spun off. But Bobby didn't really die; that entire season of "Dallas" was revealed to be a dream that Pam had.

Trivia: Mimi Kennedy plays Lar Pink-Lincoln's mother in this episode. In real life, Kennedy is only twelve years older than Pink-Lincoln.
Correction: The writers of "Knots Landing" decided to ignore that Bobby hadn't really died on "Dallas." They decided to go ahead with the show as if Bobby had truly died. This has been stated in interviews with the writers in the past.
