This is one of the two episodes that is only 10 minutes long instead of the usual 11 (the other being "Stuck in a Tree"). The shorter length of this episode was likely done to accommodate for the next episode's extra length.
This is the only episode where Lila has a major role that does not involve Helga.
Arnold is a fan of jazz musician Thelonious Monk.
Arnold was uncharacteristically selfish in this episode. This was presumedly done to keep him from being perfect and give him more flaws.
According to Timberly, Gerald and Jamie O like blueberry waffles.
Lila, in reference to tagging along with Timberly and Arnold, asks if Arnold's okay with "making it a threesome", which is a relatively obvious sexual innuendo.
