Trivia

 * Mr. Frensky impulsively answering "42" could possibly be a reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams, where the Answer to Life is said to be 42.

Goofs

 * In the classroom during the open house, Francine and her parents aren't seen in a wide view of the classroom, but Francine is later seen sitting at a desk beside Oliver Frensky.
