Goofs
- Animation/continuity error: In the opening scene, while Mikey and Gus are holding the permission slips, there are other kids waiting behind them. Once they arrive at Menlo's desk, there are no other kids.
- Animation error: When Randall asks the kids if they have forgotten something, Spinelli's dress has a line drawn on her waist, making it look like she is wearing a shirt and a skirt instead.
- Animation error: When Randall gets hit in the head with a ball at the very end of the episode, the animation appears to get more choppy as the picture fades to black.
