• Blooper: The way the I.O.U. note lands on the lampshade means it should be projected on the ceiling upside down and backwards but is projected perfectly readable.
• Fake Russian: Susan Sarandon as the ballet teacher.
• So My Kids Can Watch: Susan Sarandon had wanted to guest star on the show because her children were big fans; she brought them with her to the recording session.
