Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- The episode's title comes from a conversation between Oliver and Eb. Eb's voice and lip movements are out of synch with each other. He bangs his hand against his head to get them back in synch. Lisa's dog Minon has the same problem. Edit
- This is the only episode that has Oliver seeing the show's opening credits. (He remarks aloud to himself that Alf and Ralph Monroe don't deserve credit for their carpentry.) Oddly, seeing writing in the air doesn't startle him, and he immediately forgets about it. Edit
- Oliver's CIA code name is 198. Edit

ADD QUOTES- Doris: (after asking Arnold to turn off the television) That Arnold. If he spent as much time doing his homework as watching TV... Edit
- (Oliver offers to tell the locals why he's staying) Fred: Now if we say "Why?", is this going to lead into one of those long winded speechs of yours? Edit
- Oliver: (after noticing "Carpentry by Alf and Ralph Monroe" in the opening credits) They're not supposed to get credit! Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- As the show opens, Eb's voice and lips are out of synch. Oliver commments that living there was like living in the Twilight Zone, the long-running CBS series. Edit
