Trivia
- This is the only episode in which Digit does not appear, as he had not been created yet when the pilot was made. A line was added to the script to explain his absence.
- Matt breaks the fourth wall by commenting "What, that crazy xylophone?" on the background music. This line doesn’t appear in the original pilot version, so it was presumably an ad-lib by the voice actress.
- Jackie describes Poddleville as “Jane Jestson meets Martha Stewart”.
- Filmed before Harry and Bianca were cast. The For Real segment starred Kareem Blackwell, who makes his first and only appearance, due to being a pilot.[citation needed]
