You really get a feel for the family dynamics in this episode. Carl is into mischief as always, and Lois handles it in stride. You get the feel for how long and close of friends Ginger and Darren truely are. But most importantly you feel relationship between Ginger and her parents.

- Ginger: Hello stranger You came just in time I look for your face in a crowd or in line Hello stranger Not a moment too soon See- that old picture is fading in the drawer of my room Now toys have gone lost Baby teeth have come loose There were accidents involving stitches spilled juice Report cards were shown And one time I got sick But it's nothing I couldn't catch you up on real quick Hello stranger I saved you a place And it hardly seems strange Now that I've seen your face

NOTES (1)
ADD NOTES
- This episode was the first ATBG episode nominated for an Emmy for Best Animation less than 1 Hour. It lost to The Simpsons (for the episode "HOMR"). About Simpsons, see my sidenote of it and ATBG in "Lunatic Lake". At that same time, another Nick show, Invader ZIM, won an Emmy for Outstanding Individual Effort in Animation, even though one year later, for some reason, Nick decided to cancel it despite OK ratings and its Emmy win.

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Lois Foutley: "Will you buy a vowel already"?
  Lois was referring to NBC's popular, long-running game show "Wheel of Fortune" in which the contestants have to give up money to buy vowels (A, E, I, O, U).
