This marks one of the few episodes in which a character uses the word "Crap", the character being Harold.
When this episode airs on The Splat, it ends abruptly mid-Davy Jones' line and cuts to commercials.
Moral: You should be honest about how you feeling about something. Also sometimes new things are better than old things.
Innuendo: After Grandpa suggests to go fishing he jokingly says "For the halibut", which is a pun on the phrase "For the hell of it".
