8 Simple Rules

Throughout the whole series, we never get to know what C.J's real name is.

If it is staff and faculty day why doesn't CJ have to be in school?

Response to why CJ's not there. It appears this episode takes place prior to when CJ started. Note the production code is 2 prior to Teacher's Lounge. It is unfortunate that they show these out of chonological orders, but oh well.

Dorky Duane McDougal makes another appearance. His first was in the episode "Freaky Friday".

Why is Kerry in Bridget's math class if she's younger? It's a possibility but not really...
Possible Reason: Kerry skipped a math class because she is so smart, so she then ended up with the kids from a grade above her.

How is Kerry in Mrs. Krupp's math class, too? In "Princetown Girl" only Bridget was and Kerry ended up tutoring her for a test in that class.

In this episode, C.J. says Mrs. Krupp's first name is "Mindy." However, in "Princetown Girl," Cate mentions that Mrs. Krupp's first name is Alice.

On the other hand, this might be an intentional mistake, as Cate looks surprized to hear C.J. call her "Mindy":

C.J.: No, wait... Mindy!
Cate: Mindy?
C.J.: I can't believe this, she was the best thing that ever happened to me, why did you tell her about Sheryl?
Cate: Well, I thought you'll break up with Mindy... (confused) Mindy?

Cate says that she doesn't know how "Freaky Friday" ended, but seeing as how she's in her 40s, it's highly likable that she saw the movie before.

When Kate comes in with the DVD 'Freaky Friday' for family movie night, she sets it down on a side table. When she sits down to watch the movie, the movie plays despite the fact that she never put in the DVD.

Kerry says that there is a hockey strike. It's actually a lockout...there's a big difference.

When C.J. is yelling about never cooking for them again, the camera spans to Rory and in the corner you can see the actress that plays Kerry (Amy Davidson) trying not to laugh.

Bridget says what will she do with a computer, but in previous episodes we've seen her using computers. She frequently used Paul's laptop to check her email and to visit HighSchoolScandal.com

When CJ goes and confesses to Principal Gibbs about catching Rory cheating, you can see that Principal Gibbs is not doing a "word jumble", but instead is doing a word search.

When Cate complains about every one changing their favourite cookies:
look at the plate, before Jim walks in the door there are two left on the plate, and when Jim asks for one the plate is empty.

In this episode we learn that Ms Crupp's first name is Alice but in the season three episode "Torn Between Two Lovers" C.J. says that Ms Crupp's name is Mindy.

Princeton, like all Ivy League universities, does not offer any athletic scholarships. In fact Ivies hardly offer scholarships of any kind. Several, in fact, offer none at all (and financial aid is strictly need-based).

At the beginning of the episode, Cate puts the microwave on 30 seconds, but in the 30 seconds, she mentally relives an entire day.

In this episode you see the gate entrance to the house for the first time.

Kerry says that Sean knew they had fake IDs and was going to call Cate. But when the bouncer asked for their IDs, Sean called Bridget, C.J.. Meaning that he still thought that they were adults.

Since C.J. is his initials, instead of his name, the name C.J. should not be on his driver's license.
