- Brainy, Eugene and Nadine aren't in the class chorus.
- Prior to the removal of his tonsils, Gerald had never undergone an operation.
- Harvey never misses P.S. 118's Spring Concert.
- This would mark one of the few occasions where Harvey, despite being voiced by a famous singer, actually had a singing bit. Rawls, who made a big career as a singer, also previously had experience with children's cartoons through Garfield tv specials.
- Martin had his tonsils taken out when he was 8 years old.
- Arnold has 23 volumes of Purdy Boy mystery novels, according to Gerald.
- Helga is shown as the hall monitor in one sequence. The Season 1 episode titled "Hall Monitor" focuses not only on her role as P.S. 118's hall monitor, but also how Phoebe is chosen for the job and how she subsequently handles it.
- Gerald's operation is at the Drymon Medical Clinic. Derek Drymon is one of the show's "regular" directors.
- Instead of the normal credits' music, Jim Lang did a remix called "A Freak Of Nature".
- This is not the only time "Moonlight Bay" would be sung in the series. It was also sung in the episode "Big Sis".
- Before Mr. Simmons class goes on stage, Patty performs a song on the accordion alongside Chocolate Boy on the tuba.
- For some reason, the lyrics to Moonlight Bay are changed from "You have stolen my heart, now don't go away / As we sang love's old sweet song..." to "You have stolen my heart and gone away / As we sing our moonlit song..."
- Harvey's favorite singer (as a child, at least), Raspy Wolf, is a reference to real-life Missouri blues singer Howlin' Wolf.
