ADD TRIVIA
This program ends with Kathy saying, "The Bloodhound Gang" will return next week with another mystery." This was clearly intended for the reruns of 3-2-1 Contact from the first three seasons (counting this one). The show's first week of programs in the fourth season had no Bloodhound Gang.

ADD TRIVIA
One of the University of Pennsylvania doctors uses the word "strongest" in a comparison of only two odors. Of course, the correct word is "stronger," and the CTW content advisors should have pressed for a retake.

The animation which follows Sarah Jessica Parker's Annie segment displays a thermometer reading both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. The numbers on the Celsius scale are not listed properly, going from 10° to 0° to -10°, then 0° again, then another -10° before the last figure, -40°, gets it back on track.

Season 1 Episode 3: Noisy/Quiet: How P...
ADD TRIVIA
The crawl for this episode lists the cast of The Bloodhound Gang's "Case of the One-Ton Jewel," scheduled for Noisy/Quiet: Production & Processing of Sound (the premiere) but withdrawn due to time constraints. The cast of "The Case of the Educated Pig," which does appear in Episode 1, is not credited.
How fatal an error was that? In spiking Episode 44 (Near/Far: Space Travel) early in 1986 and prohibiting the episode called Food/Fuel: Fueling Machines after July 1987, CTW had no surviving crawl to list the "Educated Pig" cast. That is why this age-old Bloodhound Gang episode was reinstated in Your Body: Twins, in October 1988.
