* There are two parodies of the Arthur intro in this episode: One is when Buster is imagining himself on TV, and the other is when Francine is imagining the Brain having his own TV show. The latter parody also includes a parody of "[[Arthur's New Puppy]]" titled "[[Brain's New Puppy]]". | * There are two parodies of the Arthur intro in this episode: One is when Buster is imagining himself on TV, and the other is when Francine is imagining the Brain having his own TV show.

* The name of the episode is a play on the phrase, "And now, a word from us kids," referential of the [[And Now a Word from Us Kids|segment]] featuring actual children shown as interstitial content between stories on most ''Arthur'' episodes, save those which featured "Postcards from You." | * The name of the episode is a play on the phrase, "And now, a word from us kids," referential of the [[And Now a Word from Us Kids|segment]] featuring actual children shown as interstitial content between stories on most ''Arthur'' episodes, save those which featured "[[Postcards from You]]." | ||
* This is George's first speaking role. | |||
* The fourth wall is broken several times in this episode. When D.W. imagines Buster on TV (in the place of Arthur) he falls forward instead of backward, out of the television, in a smaller form, and lands in front of her. This excites D.W. but she changes her mind about Buster offering her a co-star role by saying "No, thanks. You would try to make me look like a brat or something" hinting at her awareness of her role in ''Arthur'' itself. | |||

* Francine mentions that she didn't get a puppy last Christmas, despite the fact that she and her family are Jewish. In the book ''[[Arthur's Christmas]]'' that was first published fourteen years before this episode went on the air, Francine was seen sitting on Santa Claus's lap, but never revealed which holiday she celebrates with her family. | * Francine mentions that she didn't get a puppy last Christmas, despite the fact that she and her family are Jewish.
