Trivia[]
General[]
- When Ms. Frizzle says "Have us Frizzles gotten you eaten yet?/But you didn't stay eaten, right?", it sums up the trope in which the Bus gets suddenly eaten or chewed by a living creature (not counting humans, as getting eaten by a human such as Arnold has always been intentional) with the class aboard, while they come up with a way to escape, seen in "Gets Eaten", "All Dried Up", "The Busasaurus," and "Hides and Seeks."
- This is the second time it is implied that Wanda's favorite color is red, the first being Makes a Rainbow.
- Going by production order, this is the eleventh episode of Season 5.[1][2]
- Jyoti mentions her nānī, who gets her name and speaking debut in "Nothin' but Net".
- This episode is part of a trilogy of episodes that takes place during the summer of fifth-grade. The others are “Making Magic” and “Goldstealer.”
- This is the second time in which a student converts a measurement in the imperial system into metric. The first time was in "Kicks Up a Storm."
- This episode reveals that Ralphie is ten years old. He is the first student with a known age.
Errors[]
- During the “Have us Frizzles gotten you eaten yet?” scene, Keesha is absent.
Allusions[]
