Notes
ADD NOTES- The show was actually advertised. UPN's advertising of the show was controversial and new at the time, although it is commonplace on all channels now to promote other shows during a program: "QUICK, DUCK! IT'S DILBERT! - Dec 20 From Variety: UPN has come up with a rather in-your-face way to promote its upcoming Dilbert premiere on Jan. 25. In the midst of several of its comedies, including Moesha, Clueless and DiResta, animated Dilbert and Dogbert icons randomly float down into the middle of scenes wearing parachutes emblazoned with Dilbert premieres Jan. 25. After producers of some UPN shows from Columbia's competitors (including parent studio Paramount) complained about the wacky and somewhat jarring Dilbert interruptions, which have no relation to the show's plots, UPN is now attempting to limit Dilbert's appearances to the beginning or end of acts." I believe, although my memory could be wrong, that Dilbert's parachute said "Dilbert" and Dogbert's parachute said "Premieres January 25th" on it. I could be wrong. Edit
- This is the first episode of the series to air with a low rating due to lack of advertisement. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Dogbert: Let's start with you accounting guys. Accounting Guy: Walter's good at this creative stuff. He just named his baby. Pointy-Haired Boss: How is Walter Jr.? Walter: She's fine. Thanks for asking. Edit
- Dilbert: I thought you were going to wake me at 6:30. Dogbert: I also said women like men who are shaped like potatoes - can you find the pattern here? Edit
- Dilbert: (thinking of new name for product) How about Sisyphus, the the guy who pushed a rock up a hill for eternity? Pointy-haired Boss: It could convey a sense of playfulness... Dilbert: (dumbstruck) It's supposed to convey a sense of futility! Pointy-haired Boss: You have to look at it from the rock's point of view. Edit
