* WholePlotReference: The TV pilot is one to ''Theater/RomeoAndJuliet''. Mrs. Munger and Mr. Nort are in a secret relationship, but vice-principal Mr. Swain forbids it because Mr. Nort is a teacher at a rival school. Fittingly enough, ''Romeo and Juliet'' is being taught by Mrs. Munger to the class throughout the episode.

Actual school portraits were used for the characters, though distorted and manipulated to avoid clearing personality rights. Despite this, it still eventually led to a class-action lawsuit against Creator/{{Disney}} from the teacher and four of her former students whose portraits were used in the show.
