* FullBodyDisguise - In "But I Am An Alligator", Lola wears, for a majority of the episode, a large, dark green alligator costume which covers her entire body, with the exception of her arms and legs. This embarrasses Charlie, as she wears it in public, and the size of the costume makes it difficult for Lola to perform basic tasks such as tying her shoelaces.

** Each is read out loud by Lola, and it is not unusual for her continue the statement as the show proper starts. In some cases, what's said and shown on the program don't match up with what's in schedule listings. For example, "I've Got Nobody to Play With" is listed as "Playing On My Own." In other cases, the really long titles are simply shortened, sometimes to as a little as one word.

** In the books and in shows derived from the books, Soren Lorenson is the darker and more selfish side of Lola; he's the one who encourages her to play with Charlie's rocket and lie about it when it gets accidentally broken, he's the one who drinks all the pink milk that Charlie was hoping to share with Marv, and he's the one who Lola is scared will be lonely on her first day in school.
