2	!General trivia:
3	* Taping sessions normally resulted in as many as four or five episodes a day, and much like Phil Moore in the network's later ''Series/NickArcade'', Mike O'Malley would wear one outfit for a couple of shows, and then change it for the next two. Not to mention each tape date usually had the same Power Surges used in both Rounds.

5	!Specific trivia:
6	* EditedForSyndication: Like ''[[Series/DoubleDare1986 Family Double Dare]]'', ''Series/NickArcade'', and ''Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple'', the parting gifts for departing teams were re-dubbed in later airings. Reruns of ''Get the Picture'' only continued to 1993, unlike the other shows which continued to the end of the 1990s, so it can be very easy to mistake the re-dubbed prizes for the original ones. Season 2 episodes originally had plugs for British Knights Dymacel Shoes; if an episode has a Slush Puppies parting gift, there's a good chance it's a re-dub.
7	* FollowTheLeader: The "ID something from behind a wall of gradually revealed squares" aspect smacks a bit of both ''Series/{{Concentration}}'' and ''Series/CatchPhrase'', though they use plain pictures, not rebuses or animated {{Visual Pun}}s. Having to play "Dots" to reveal something is a bit like ''Series/AllStarBlitz'', though there aren't any celebrities, or word puzzles.
8	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The series hasn't aired since the demise of Nick [=GaS=] in 2007, although most episodes circulate among collectors and are occasionally uploaded to Website/YouTube. It is also one of the few Nickelodeon game shows absent from Creator/ParamountPlus.
9	** As for the show itself, there were reportedly 40 episodes taped for Season 1, and 75 for Season 2. While all of Season 1 appears to be available, Season 2 has 72 out of 75 available.
10	* NoBudget: They slashed the budget big-time for Season 2. The game was played for points instead of dollars, the first six Mega Memory pictures were cut in half to $100 apiece - not to mention the drastic cut to the time limit. This was because, with the exception of ''[[Series/DoubleDare1986 Family Double Dare]]'', this was the biggest "big money" game show Nick produced, as the total haul in Season 1 could exceed $5,000-$6,000. Season 2's haul was about $3,000-$4,000; granted, most of that was prizes, as the only cash that could be earned was $600, compared to the $1,200+ in Season 1.
11	* StarMakingRole: This was Mike O'Malley's first role pre-''GUTS''.
