===Production notes=== | |||
*On some post-9/11 airings and on video releases, the I.Q. imagine spot is edited, so we don't see the missile stop right before hitting the White House; instead, it freeze-frames on the Brain as I.Q. pushing down the "1" button, as we hear Arthur saying "We did it!" (with a noticeably different voice actor), and then it goes to the parade scene.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSBVbdf3iAk</ref> | |||
