1* From the "Bionic Bunny" episode, as we go behind the scenes of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', we see Creator/MichaelDorn getting into makeup as Worf. As he leaves the makeup trailer by shoving the door hard enough to bang against the trailer, he says [[Theatre/AFunnyThingHappenedOnTheWayToTheForum "Stand aside, I take large steps!".]]
2** The episode also features the only officially released TNG outtakes (until the Blu-ray releases), the highlight of which is Creator/PatrickStewart's "Kill me now" expression after one too many flubs.
3* A few of the show's own outtakes can be seen at the start of "Ludlow Laughs". Cows sure are hard to work with.
4* The opening of the Kickstarter video, with kids and adults alike struck utterly speechless by Levar walking in and asking where a certain classroom is. And at the end, Creator/BrentSpiner arrives to meet him and no one recognizes him.
5* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIFbtUXIKYk Kermit the Frog's cameo]], including a marvelous ParentalBonus joke regarding Hamlet.
6* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=FMwijWyp0WM#t=370 The end of Episode 5 of the new UTech segment of Reading Rainbow]]. Not only did [=LeVar=] do a CallBack to both ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'' (where a clueless Scotty tried talking to a computer mouse) and ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' by verbally asking a 18th century stove for hot Earl Grey tea (Captain Picard's preferred drink), the stove actually ''obliged'' (through the magic of video editing, complete with the teleportation VFX from TNG).
7* From the "Little Nino's Pizzeria" episode, when the kids are asked how much pizza they could eat in a single meal, most of their answers are laughably unrealistic amounts, especially the one boy who claims he could eat "45,925,777 pizza pies".
8** Also in this episode, the kids are asked about their favorite pizza toppings. Some of them answer with rather unusual things like candy and oysters. A boy has "another pizza" as his favorite topping.
