Adding to the list of actors from Scrubs (2001) appearing on Cougar Town (2009), Nicole Sullivan, who plays Jules therapist here, had a recurring role on Scrubs (2001) as a patient.
This is the first appearance of Nicole Sullivan as therapist Lynn Mettler. She had previously co-starred with Ian Gomez (who plays Andy Torres) on Rita Rocks (2008) as neighbors and members of a garage band. In fact, Ian left that show to join the cast of Cougar Town (2009).
Laurie says she doesn't like books in this episode and in a later episode (season 6 Ep 11) she talks about how she loves reading.
This show takes place on the Gulf Coast of Florida, which doesn't get surfible waves.
To spoof the title which no longer matches the content of the series, in the second season the producers started adding self-deprecating jokes to the show's title card. The one for this episode reads: You know what would be cooler than this title card bit? A new title "Cougar Town".
