[[Arthur Read|Arthur]] is in his living room, sitting on the floor and bursting bubble wrap and talking to viewers about what it is like when people become interested in something and then grow obsessed with it, like [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] when he heard a particular radio program during a test, or using so much electricity to decorate for Christmas that it causes a citywide power failure. But he stops when [[Jane Read|his mom]] calls him to dinner. | [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] is in his living room, sitting on the floor and bursting bubble wrap and talking to viewers about what it is like when people become interested in something and then grow obsessed with it, like [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] when he heard a particular radio program during a test, or using so much electricity to decorate for Christmas that it causes a citywide power failure.

*The flashback of [[David Read|Mr. Read]] and [[Ramón Molina|Mr. Molina]]'s competition over who had the best Christmas lights may be a reference to the 2006 Christmas film ''Deck the Halls''.{{cite}} | |||
* ''Junior Island'' is loosely a parody of the American TV series ''[http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Lost Lost]''. Both take place on a deserted island, with the walrus being a parody of the polar bear, the science lab being a parody of the Swan Station, and the ship being a parody of the plane. | |||
