- TriviaMeredith Baxter and Stephen Collins previously played each other's spouses before, in the feature film, All the President's Men (1976).
- GoofsDue to extensive renovations on the Coral Reef house, Dan and Betty move the family to another house. When they separate, Dan says he'll move back alone and work around it, and arrives to pick his way through a flurry of activity, but when Betty drops the kids off shortly later, the renovators have all conveniently vanished to make room for them.
- Quotes
Dan Broderick: I know this isn't the exact ring you asked for, but I thought it'd be more of a surprise. And you know... I kind of like this one better.
Betty Broderick: [surprised] You liked it better?
Dan Broderick: Well... uhh...
Betty Broderick: [calmly] Yes, you liked it better. And that's what counts, really, I mean, that's what it's all about. You make it, you spend it on what you want.
Dan Broderick: [flabbergasted] Geez, Bets, it isn't like it cost any less.
Betty Broderick: [becoming ballistic] Exactly! So, why not get me what I want? *You* certainly got what you wanted, even though you had to spend an extra 7 grand to get it when you wanted it!
Debbie Broderick: [frightened] Can you guys just cool it?
Dan Broderick: [smirking] It's Christmas. If your Mom wants to behave like a spoiled brat, let's let her.
Betty Broderick: What kind of person gets his wife a Christmas present she *doesn't* even want?
Dan Broderick: [calmly, while clutching Betty's wrist as she holds the ring box] It's a beautiful ring.
Betty Broderick: [screams] *But it's not what I asked for!* So that makes it a piece of crap!
- ConnectionsFeatured in The 44th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards (1992)
After all the years of working and raising a family, Betty snapped and couldn't handle Dan's behavior, or him leaving her. Wouldn't you feel betrayed and used if you found out that your partner has been cheating on you for 3 years? I would.
I do not think that Betty should have murdered her husband and Linda (although she states that it was a total accident), but Dan should not have done what he did. Betty is a smart, intelligent lady who, in my opinion, has served her time and has learned her lesson.
