Notes

add »
Susan Sarandon receives the "And" credit. (edit)
Due to being the second half of a one hour episode, it does not have a cold open. Making this the only "episode" to not have one. (edit)
The last song played in the episode is "Space to Share" by Scapegoat Wax (edit)
The song which plays during this episode is "Do Your Thing" performed by Basement Jaxx. (edit)
This hour-long episode received 2 emmy nominations. Susan Sarandon was nominated for Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. Bobby Porter was also nominated for his Stunt Coordination in this episode. (edit)

Quotes

add »
(everyone enters in the car, Dewey is like an animal struggling inside a sack, Reese has a purple eye, Malcolm has a red and big face, and Lois is cover in mud)
Hal: It was not that bad. (edit)

Trivia

add »
There are a few problems in the hockey game. First, when the fight breaks out and the end, the clock is still running and the game is continuing. Whenever there is a fight in hockey the game is stopped. Second, when Frances goes for the game winning goal, he pokes the puck in with a broken hockey stick. It is a penalty to play with a broken stick, so the goal should have been disallowed. (edit)
When Francis is dragged along the ice at the end of the episode, supposedly naked, his black trousers are clearly visible in one shot. (edit)
