Trivia[]
- This is the episode in which we learn the flower chorus is named The Dim Bulbs.
- Mr. Mushnick does not appear.
- The first appearance of Dr. Mightus Appalling and his assistant, Igor. Appalling is loosely based on Albert Einstein; Igor is an amalgam of Frankenstein's monster (who surfaces in later episodes) and Dr. Frankenstein's hunchbacked assistant, Fritz.
- This is the first episode in which it's implied that Junior has eaten a living creature, a junkyard dog.
- During the song "Fiber," a man is glimpsed at the science fair who looks suspiciously like Jack Nicholson, an actor who made his movie debut in the original film. This is the first of many cameos, which grow bigger throughout the series.
- Although they were never romantically involved in the show, Paine admits that he has feelings for Audrey.
