ADD TRIVIA-
When Roger lands a job on the cruise ship, he sings a recreation of Xanadu, the title song from the eponymous film as a tribute to Olivia Newton-John.
-
The original scene of Stan watching football had him cheering for Virginia Tech. But, the Virginia Tech shootings happened the week before this episode was supposed to air, so they changed at the last minute. Although there is a deleted scene with Stan's original Virginia Tech outfit on the DVD.
-
When Stan is cheering while watching sports, he is yelling Hoyas! But the caption says "Go V-Tech! Ho-kies, Ho-kies, Ho-kies!" The line was possibly changed to honor the V-Tech shooting.
