This episode without commercials is 24 minutes and 2 seconds long. (edit) Catscratch should be set in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania since the tower Randall goes to the top is similar to the One Liberty Place building. Also, the city bears a resemblance to Philadelphia. (edit) The Root Beer challenges included the Root Beer Barrel Run, a race to the top of the long plant roots, a wrestling match with the Root Bear, and the Root Beer Trivia. (edit) Sassyfras appears for the first time in "King of All Root Beer." (edit)

Sassyfrass: Results so far are that everyone is doing...adequate. Mr. Blik has a tiny little lead.
Mr. Blik: Naturally, for I AM THE KING!
Sassyfrass: But there is one last test. The Root Beer Trivia.
Mr. Blik: Ha Ha. Look at those--trivia?! (edit) Lady in Audience: Look! Giant invading cats are attacking the city!
Man in Audience: Not again!
Sassyfrass: What are they doing?! They're ruining my parade! Uck! (to Root Bear) Get them down! (edit) Waffle: The Burpo's factory stands 300 feet tall and spews root beer to the quarter hour.
Mr. Blik: Waffle, a king needs leadership, not a bunch of la-de-da trivia.
Gordon: Besides, that's just a rumor.
(factory spews out root beer)
Gordon, Mr. Blik, & Waffle: (drink root beer) Mmmmmmm. (edit) Gordon: (gets pinched by Mr. Blik and drops the piece of broccoli) Aww, my sweet broccoli is in the elevator. (edit) Waffle: We know Gordon's allergic! Stop trying to trick us with the truth! Truth tricker! (edit) Mr.Blik:Wait, we do not run from this house!

Waffle:Then why do we have an escape pod? (edit)

The hanger the cats run into to inflate themselves is Hangar 18. It is a reference to the film of the same name, and thusly the song of the same title by the band Megadeth. (edit) The cats possibly couldn't have been the only competitors in the challenge to be the root beer king. Shouldn't there be kids competing? (edit) In one of the scenes where Blik and Waffle are inflated balloons and are fighting in "King of All Root Beer", Blik's eyes turn white for about a minute or so. (edit)

Sassyfrass

Sassyfrass gets her name from Sassafrass. A tree whose roots were once used in making root beer. (edit) "Paging Dr. Girard. Paging Dr. Girard" This is said over the loud speaker in the hospital in "Lovesick." This is a reference to Michal Girard, the director of the show. (edit) Hanger 18

The hangar the cats run into to inflate themselves is Hanger 18. According to UFO theorists, the government is keeping a downed UFO in Hanger 18 in Roswell, New Mexico. (edit) The music from parade day is the tune of the theme song. (edit) Root Beer Bubbles: Float Up to Start Next Sequence

This is a reference to the sequence of bubbles from another Nicktoon, Spongebob Squarepants (edit) When it shows the commercial for Burpo's, the root beer company, the curtain with the two children and the root beer bottle in the middle, slightly resembles the sign from the "Log" commercial in the television show Ren & Stimpy."
